At the level of a global theory there is a physically sensible SU_q(3) formalism with measurable differences from the SU(3) theory. In contrast to the SU_q(2) case, where it is possible to construct a q-electroweak theory, there is no local (Yang-Mills) formalism for SU_q(3).18 pages, 2 figures, TeX fileHigh Energy Physics - Theorytext
