Abstract
Using a theorem in linear algebra, we prove some no-go theorems in the minimization of potentials related to the problem of symmetry breaking. Some applications in the grand unified model building are mentioned. Another application of the algebraic theorem is also included to demonstrate its usefulness.Keywords
