Dark revelations of the [SU(3)]3 and [SU(3)]4 gauge extensions of the standard model

Two theoretically well-motivated gauge extensions of the standard model are SU(3)C×SU(3)L×SU(3)R and SU(3)q×SU(3)L×SU(3)l×SU(3)R, where SU(3)q is the same as SU(3)C and SU(3)l is its color leptonic counterpart. Each has three variations, according to how SU(3)R is broken. It is shown here for the fi...
