✦ Synopsis
We construct a renormalizable model of weak interactions based on the gauge group SU(;?)L x SU(2)a x U(1) and incorporating a natural suppression of all flavor-changing neutral currents. We resolve the dilemma between the observations of the "high-y anomaly" and of parity-violating neutral currents in neutrino physics. Parity violation in atomic physics is predicted to be smaller than in the standard gauge model. The decay p -+ ey need not be absolutely forbidden. The theory requires two charged and two neutral intermediate vector bosons with masses between 50 and 200 GeV; and at least six quark flavors, three charged leptons, and three massive neutral leptons.

The perturbation theory of electromagnetic and weak interactions is considered. A hypothesis is proposed that the neutrino is a "carrier" of nonlocality. It means effectively a nonlocal change of the neutrino free-particle propagator. The charged lepton fields (ele'ctron and muon fields) are conside
Assuming the intermediate vector meson being a Yang-Mill field, one can treat all weak interaction phenomena involving both CP-conserving and violating processes in a unified manner. In this theory, the weak interaction violates CP maximally. Also, a notion of the weak SU(3) space in contrast to the
Assuming the active molecule as a two-level system, we calculate the racemization, due to the tunneling effect, taking into account the effects of the weak interactions and of an external potential. We show that the weak interactions would block the tunneling racemization of enantiomers in compresse
