The R-parity violation vertices from and can both contain the same down-type squark. Write its linear couplings as and its mass term as . Eliminating it gives . The cross term is , with the color Levi-Civita symbol contracting the three quarks. It changes baryon number and lepton number together and supplies the dimension-six proton-decay operator for . The two down-flavor indices in must differ, so strange- or bottom-squark exchange is allowed but identical down flavors vanish.
