Abstract
Assuming that all quarks have only electric charges and , we classify all possible representations and all admissible gauge groups underlying the unified weak and electromagnetic interactions. In particular, the group cannot contain any exceptional Lie groups , , , , and as its factor. Moreover, the underlying irreducible representation for quark multiplets to be used must be one of fundamental representations for each component of simple Lie groups contained as a factor of . For example, only the spinor representation is allowed for the group, while only the basic representation is admissible for the symplectic groups. If is semisimple in addition, then must be a product of groups.
