Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project aims to build Unified Theories of Elementary Particles which are expected to exist beyond the Standard Model, taking the sharp contrast of hierarchical generation mixing structures between quarks and leptons as a big clue.
(1) The members of this project have individually produced their own good results; in particular, they elucidated that there must be some hidden discrete symmetries and E6 gauge symmetry behind those mixing structures as suggested by superstring theory.
(2) They also organized Summer Institute every year and successfully promoted active young researchers in this field in Japan as well as in East Asia to make fruitful collaborations among them.
