42. We can use nonanomalous U(1) symmetry instead of anomalous U(1) symmetry if three conditions in the Introduction are satisfied. However, since we do not know such models, we adopt anomalous U(1) symmetry in this letter.
43. α is a SUSY field strength. This makes it impossible to realize natural gauge coupling unification. The most natural way to forbid these terms is to choose a to be negative, which leads to a shorter proton lifetime.
