Abstract
An extension of the left-right symmetric model has been constructed wh ich gives in a natural way the three lepton decay modes of the proton which have been suggested as an explanation for the atmospheric neutri no anomaly. We write down the potential which after minimization gives the proper choice of the Higgs spectrum. With this Higgs spectrum we then study the evolution of the gauge coupling constants and point out that for consistency one has to include effects of gravity.
