PARTIAL-SYMMETRIES OF WEAK INTERACTIONS
Weak and electromagnetic interactions of the leptons were examined under the hypothesis tbat the weak interactions are mediated by vector bosons. With only an isotopic triplet of leptons coupled to a triplet of vector bosons (two charged decay intermediaries and the photon), the theory possesses no partial symmetries. Such symmetries may be established if additional vector bosons or additional leptons are introduced. Since the latter possibility yields a theory disagreeing with experiment, tho simplest partially symmetric model reproducing the observed electromagnetic and weak interactions of leptone requires the existence of at least four vector-boson fields (including the photon). Corresponding partially conserved quantities suggest leptonic analogs to the conserved quantitiss associated with strong interactions: strangeness and isobaric spin. (auth)
