Hypercharge generators in SU(7) grand unification models

Abstract
We present a thorough analysis of U(1) generators in all of the nine possible symmetry-breaking patterns that reduce SU(7) down to SUc(3)×SU(2)×U(1). There is one allowed representation that contains three generations of leptons and at least two generations of quarks and satisfies anomaly freedom, reality under SUc(3) and Uem(1), and complexity under SUc(3)×SU(2)×U(1). In addition, three other representations, two having only one and two of the three lepton-quark generations complex with respect to SUc(3)×SU(2)×U(1), and the other having fractionally charged color singlets in pairs embedded in the fundamental representation [7], are also analyzed for completeness.
