Abstract

A vertical-horizontal symmetric [SO(10)]V[SO(10)]H flavor unifying scheme characterized by a natural generation structure is presented. No-go theorems associated with SO(10) embeddings are trivially avoided. All the fermions are assigned to a single irreducible representation, and the intergenerational structure is dictated by the presence of a hypercolor subgroup for which SU(4) is the only tenable candidate. The theory predicts exactly four generations and suggests a color (Pati-Salam) -hypercolor symmetry at medium energies.
