24. The models in this Gudnason et al. paper and in D.D. Dietrich, F. Sannino, and K. Tuominen, Phys. Rev. D 72, 055001 (2005) involve new leptons (ζΕ)L, ζR, ΕR which, in some variants, may both be charged. PRVDAQ 0556-2821 10.1103/PhysRevD.72.055001

26. Some further discussion is in C. Quigg and R. Shrock (unpublished).
27. In Ref.Â, Eq. 5.18 was found in the context of an Nc-extended SM in which one allowed both quark and lepton charges to deviate from their conventional SM values.
28. In the special case where one considers general Nc but requires the leptons to have their conventional charges, obstacles to grand unification with Nc≠3 were shown earlier by H. Georgi, Nature (London) NATUAS 0028-0836 10.1038/288649a0 288, 649 (1980) and
