Induced linear map on total Standard Model charges from a species-level map f:Qn→Qmf: \mathbb{Q}^n \to \mathbb{Q}^m

Given natural numbers nn and mm representing the number of fermion families, let SMSpecies(k)≅Qk\text{SMSpecies}(k) \cong \mathbb{Q}^k be the vector space of rational charges for a single fermion species across kk families, and let SMCharges(k)≅(Qk)5\text{SMCharges}(k) \cong (\mathbb{Q}^k)^5 be the total vector space of charges for the five fermion species in the Standard Model. For a Q\mathbb{Q}-linear map f:Qn→Qmf: \mathbb{Q}^n \to \mathbb{Q}^m that acts on the charges of a single species, `SM.chargesMapOfSpeciesMap` defines a Q\mathbb{Q}-linear map F:SMCharges(n)→SMCharges(m)F: \text{SMCharges}(n) \to \text{SMCharges}(m). For a total charge configuration S∈SMCharges(n)S \in \text{SMCharges}(n), the map FF is defined such that the charges of each species i∈{0,…,4}i \in \{0, \dots, 4\} in the resulting configuration F(S)F(S) are obtained by applying ff to the charges of the ii-th species in SS.

definition

Projection of species charges from mm to nn families (Qm→Qn\mathbb{Q}^m \to \mathbb{Q}^n)

For a single fermion species, given two natural numbers mm and nn such that n≤mn \leq m, let Qm\mathbb{Q}^m and Qn\mathbb{Q}^n denote the vector spaces of rational charges across mm and nn families, respectively. The function `SM.speciesFamilyProj` is the Q\mathbb{Q}-linear projection map P:Qm→QnP: \mathbb{Q}^m \to \mathbb{Q}^n that maps a charge vector S=(q0,q1,…,qm−1)S = (q_0, q_1, \dots, q_{m-1}) to its first nn components, such that P(S)=(q0,q1,…,qn−1)P(S) = (q_0, q_1, \dots, q_{n-1}).

definition

Projection of Standard Model charges from mm to nn families (n≤mn \le m)

For natural numbers mm and nn such that n≤mn \leq m, let SMCharges(m)≅(Qm)5\text{SMCharges}(m) \cong (\mathbb{Q}^m)^5 and SMCharges(n)≅(Qn)5\text{SMCharges}(n) \cong (\mathbb{Q}^n)^5 be the vector spaces of rational charges for the five fermion species across mm and nn families, respectively. The function `SM.familyProjection` is the Q\mathbb{Q}-linear projection map P:SMCharges(m)→SMCharges(n)P: \text{SMCharges}(m) \to \text{SMCharges}(n). This map takes a total charge configuration and restricts the charges of each of the five fermion species to the first nn families, effectively discarding the charges associated with families indexed from nn to m−1m-1.

definition

Linear embedding of mm-family species charges into nn-family charges Qm→Qn\mathbb{Q}^m \to \mathbb{Q}^n

For natural numbers mm and nn, this linear map embeds the charges of a single fermion species with mm families into the space of charges for nn families. Given a charge vector S∈QmS \in \mathbb{Q}^m, the ii-th component of the resulting vector in Qn\mathbb{Q}^n (where 0≤i<n0 \leq i < n) is defined as SiS_i if i<mi < m, and 00 if i≥mi \geq m. In the case where n>mn > m, this corresponds to padding the mm charges with zeros; in the case where n≤mn \leq m, this corresponds to a projection onto the first nn families.

definition

Linear embedding of mm-family charges into nn-family charges (Qm)5→(Qn)5(\mathbb{Q}^m)^5 \to (\mathbb{Q}^n)^5

For natural numbers mm and nn, this Q\mathbb{Q}-linear map embeds the charge configuration of a Standard Model with mm families into one with nn families. Given the total charge space (SMCharges m).Charges≅(Qm)5(\text{SMCharges } m).\text{Charges} \cong (\mathbb{Q}^m)^5, which consists of rational charges for five species of fermions across mm families, the map applies the species-level embedding SM.speciesEmbed m n\text{SM.speciesEmbed } m \ n to each species. Specifically, for each species, a charge vector (q1,…,qm)∈Qm(q_1, \dots, q_m) \in \mathbb{Q}^m is mapped to an nn-dimensional vector where the ii-th component is qiq_i if i≤mi \leq m and 00 otherwise (for n>mn > m). This represents the embedding of mm-family charges onto nn-family charges with all additional family charges set to zero.

definition

Universal embedding of 1-family species charges into nn-family charges

For a given natural number nn, this is a Q\mathbb{Q}-linear map from the space of charges for a single fermion species with one family, (SMSpecies 1).Charges≅Q1(SMSpecies \ 1).Charges \cong \mathbb{Q}^1, to the space of charges for the same species with nn families, (SMSpecies n).Charges≅Qn(SMSpecies \ n).Charges \cong \mathbb{Q}^n. The map takes the charge qq of the single family and assigns it to each of the nn families, effectively mapping q↦(q,q,…,q)q \mapsto (q, q, \dots, q).

definition

Universal embedding of 1-family charges into nn-family charges

For a natural number nn, this is a Q\mathbb{Q}-linear map from the space of Standard Model charges for a single family, SMCharges(1)≅Q5\text{SMCharges}(1) \cong \mathbb{Q}^5, to the space of charges for nn families, SMCharges(n)≅Q5n\text{SMCharges}(n) \cong \mathbb{Q}^{5n}. The map acts as a universal embedding by taking the rational charge assigned to each of the five fermion species in the 1-family model and replicating it across all nn families. Specifically, if the charges for the five species in the single-family case are (q1,q2,q3,q4,q5)(q_1, q_2, q_3, q_4, q_5), the map produces a charge configuration where each family i∈{1,…,n}i \in \{1, \dots, n\} has the same charges (q1,q2,q3,q4,q5)(q_1, q_2, q_3, q_4, q_5).
