Generation Structure and Proton Decay Problem

Possible generation structure is investigated. We considere alternative possibility of combination of leptons and quarks to compose each generation, where the combination of $(\nu_{\tau},{\tau})$ and $(u,d)$ compose a generation. Our model exhibits the hierarcy structure after sea-saw mechanism provived that possible existence of realistic right-handed neutrinos are taken into account. Then, in the GUTs model based on our scheme, possible inter-generation properties are examined together with the classification of gauge bosons. It is shown that if our scheme is realized, the proton decay exhibits different mode from ordinary one.
