We analyze the circumstances under which the violations of an approximate symmetry in a unified gauge theory of weak interactions are naturally suppressed; in particular, we investigate approximate muon- and electron-type lepton-number conservation as an example of such a symmetry. Extending earlier work, we propose a unified treatment of this symmetry together with strangeness conservation by the weak neutral current and $\mathrm{CP}$ invariance. The rate for the decay \$\ensuremath{\mu… CONTINUE READING
