Hochschild-Serre d₂ for SM Field Content

Source: @D_Gemini rigorous derivation (2026-03-10)

Result: d₂ ≡ 0 (by two independent paths)

Path A: Algebraic Lie Cohomology

  • SM gauge algebra g = su(3)_C + su(2)_L + u(1)_Y
  • Semisimple ideal h = su(3) + su(2), quotient k = u(1)_Y
  • Whitehead lemmas: H^q(h; W) = 0 for all non-trivial irreps W
  • Only h-singlet: E^c (right-handed positron), hypercharge Y=1
  • Non-zero Y kills outer cohomology: H^p(u(1)_Y; E^c) = 0 for all p
  • E₂ page identically empty → d₂ ≡ 0
  • Robustness: even with nu_R (Y=0), d₂=0 because dim u(1)=1 forces d₂ into p≥2

Path B: BRST Anomaly Cancellation

  • Tr(Y³) = 1/36 - 32/36 + 4/36 - 9/36 + 36/36 = 0
  • Tr(T²_SU(2) · Y) = 3(1/6) + (-1/2) = 0
  • Tr(T²_SU(3) · Y) = 2(1/6) - 2/3 + 1/3 = 0
  • All gauge anomalies cancel → d₂ = 0 as physical obstruction

Open: Gravity-Coupled Case

  • Diff(M) ⋉ G_int spectral sequence NOT computed
  • This is where non-trivial RTSG structure could appear
