This result can be thought of only as being an asymptotic limit corresponding to an earlier stage of the Universe. It also lends support to the idea that $e^2/g^2$ and $1-M_W^2/M_Z^2$ are in principle unrelated quantities.7 pages, UG-FT-48/94High Energy Physics - TheoryGroup-Theoretical Determination of the Mixing Angle in the Electroweak Gauge Grouptext
