Abstract
We present a unified gauge model of weak and electromagnetic interactions, which has the following features: (a) Chiral is an exact "natural" symmetry of strong interactions in zeroth order and therefore its violations (which arise in order are computable, and adjusting parameters suitably we can get ; (b) violations of isospin symmetry as observed in, for example, mass differences are, then, computable and of order ; (c) this model can be extended to include leptons in such a way that is computable and is of order . We also speculate on the possibility of spontaneous violation arising as a higher-order effect.
