Abstract
We construct unified models of weak and electromagnetic interactions using just three gauge fields which correspond to the intermediate vector boson and the photon. These models may be renormalizable, and do not predict processes involving neutral lepton currents.

I suggest that the dominance of matter over antimatter in the present universe is a consequence of baryon-number-nonconserving reactions in the very early fireball. Unified guag...
