Dubious T₃ and T₈ descriptions edit
In the 331 model#Details section, T₃ and T₈ are used as scalars in the scalar formulas for electric charge Q and hypercharge Y, but are described as “Gell-Mann matrices” in the text. The definition of T₃ and T₈ needs a touch-up / minor rewrite: I suspect that they are coefs. for linear combination of the two diagonal Gell-Mann matrices λ₃ and λ₈, which have linear combinations that are elements in two of the three triplet sub-algebras of the group. Alas, I can only guess: could a competent quantum mechanist please help?71.94.235.196 (talk) 05:04, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
