Lorentz violation constrained by triplicity of lepton families and neutrino oscillations

In this paper we postulate an algebraic model to relate the triplet characteristic of lepton families to Lorentz violation. Inspired by the two-to-one mapping between the group SL(2, C) and the Lorentz group via the Pauli grading (the elements of SL(2, C) expressed by direct sum of unit matrix and generators of SU (2) group), we grade the SL(3, C) group with the generators of SU(3), i. e. the Gell-Mann matrices, then express the SU(3) group in terms of three SU(2) subgroups, each of which stands for a lepton species and is mapped into the proper Lorentz group as in the case of the group SL(2,C). If the mapping from group SL(3,C) to the Lorentz group is constructed by choosing one SU(2) subgroup as basis, then the other two subgroups display their impact only by one more additional generator to that of the original Lorentz group. Applying the mapping result to the Dirac equation, it is found that only when the kinetic vertex γμξμ is extended to encompass γμξμ can the Dirac-equation-form be conserved. The generalized vertex is useful in producing neutrino oscillations and mass differences.
