Abstract: In this work we present a new renormalization group analysis especifically designed for spontaneously broken gauge theories that takes advantage of the minimal renormalization scheme. We apply the method to a calculation of the lifetime of the proton in the context of an asymptotically free SU(5) gauge theory that we also develop in this work. The lifetime that we obtain for the current favorite value of the (WEDGE)(,MS) parameter, and with three generations of light fermions is 5.1 x 10('30) years, corresponding to an M(,x) of 8.9 x 10('14) GeV. We also give lifetimes as a function of the number of generations.
