A thermal theory for charged leptons

Abstract

We propose that charged leptons are the `baryons' of the gauge dynamics subject to a SU(2)$_{e}$$\timesSU(2)_μ\timesSU(2)_τ$ symmetry. The `mesons' of this theory are neutral and thus candidates for dark matter. There is, in addition, a gauge group SU(2)$_{\tiny{CMB}}$ generating the CMB photon. We {\sl compute} the value of $α_{\tiny{em}}$ and the contribution to $\La_{\tiny{cosmo}}$ coming from SU(2)$_{\tiny{CMB}}$. We qualitatively explain the occurrence of dark matter, large intergalactic magnetic fields, a lepton asymmtry, the stability of $T_{\tiny{CMB}}$, and the deviation from thermal QED behavior of hot plasmas present in the interior of the sun and terrestial nuclear fusion experiments.
