In the current version of QCD the quarks are described by ordinary Dirac fields, organized in the following internal symmetry multiplets: the $SU(3)$ colour, the $SU(2)$ flavour, and broken $SU(3)$ providing the family triplets. \noindent…
We propose a modification of standard QCD description of the colour triplet of quarks describing quark fields endowed with colour degree of freedom by introducing a 12-component colour generalization of Dirac spinor, with built-in Z_3…
We propose a description of colour triplets of quarks by entangled Z3-graded Lee-Wick type fields, one with real mass and the two remaining ones with mutually conjugate complex masses. This is obtained by attributing colour degrees of…
A specific new quark permits that flavor generations constitute a representation of the 3-dimensional SU(3) symmetry that characterizes the Z(3) orbifold. In this context, color and supergravity bind triplets and 4-tuplets into composite…
The ideas of "local" and "global" colour-singletness are not well understood within QCD. We use a group theoretical technique to project out the partition function for a system of quarks, antiquarks and gluons to a particular representation…
A composite model of quarks and bosons is proposed in which a spin $1/2$ isospin doublet $\psi$ is the basic building block of quarks and bosons in the standard model. The $\psi$ has two components $v$ and $w$ with charges $Q=\frac{1}{3}e$…
Based on quantum statistical mechanics we show that the $SU(3)$ color singlet ensemble of a quark-gluon gas exhibits a $Z(3)$ symmetry through the normaized character in fundamental representation and also becomes equivalent, within a…
We propose a symmetry breaking scheme for QCD with three massless quarks at high baryon density wherein the color and flavor SU(3)_color times SU(3)_L times SU(3)_R symmetries are broken down to the diagonal subgroup SU(3)_{color+L+R} by…
Quarks come in three colors and have electric charges in multiples of one-third. There are also three families of quarks and leptons. Whereas the first two properties can be understood in terms of unification symmetries such as SU(5),…
We propose a model based on the $SU(3)_{C}\otimes SU(3)_{L}\otimes U(1)_{X}$ gauge symmetry with an extra $S_{3}\otimes Z_{2}\otimes Z_{4}\otimes Z_{12}$ discrete group, which successfully accounts for the SM quark mass and mixing pattern.…
Weyl group symmetric structure of SU(3) quantum chromodynamics (QCD) with one flavor quark is considered. It has been demonstrated that Weyl group as a finite color subgroup of SU(3) provides an intrinsic color symmetry of quark and gluon…
We give a model for composite quarks and leptons based on the semisimple gauge group SU(4), with the preons in the 10 representation; this choice of gauge gluon and preon multiplets is motivated by the possibility of embedding them in an…
Starting with the usual definitions of octonions, an attempt has been made to establish the relations between octonion basis elements and Gell-Mann \lambda matrices of SU(3)symmetry on comparing the multiplication tables for Gell-Mann…
We propose a supersymmetric model of quark flavor symmetry based on SU(3)colorxSU(3)WxU(1)X x T' where T' (binary tetrahedral group) is a discrete flavor symmetry group. The third (heavy) generation of quarks are assigned to singlet…
A specific algebraic coupling model involving multiple quantization axes is presented in which previously indistinguishable SU(2) symmetry groups become distinguishable when coupled into a SU(3) group structure. The model reveals new…
We impose an $S_3$ symmetry on the quark fields under which two of three quarks transform like a doublet and the remaining one as singlet, and use a scalar sector with the same structure of $SU(2)$ doublets. After gauge symmetry breaking, a…

A Z3 symmetric generalization of the Dirac equation was proposed in recent series of papers, where its properties and solutions discussed. The generalized Dirac operator acts on "coloured spinors" composed out of six Pauli spinors,…
To describe external and internal attributes of fundamental fermions, a theory of multi-spinor fields is developed on an algebra, a {\it triplet algebra}, which consists of all the triple-direct-products of Dirac \gamma-matrices. The…
Quark-lepton symmetric models are a class of gauge theories motivated by the similarities between the quarks and leptons. In these models the gauge group of the standard model is extended to include a ``color'' group for the leptons.…
