order equation as the Proca-Kemmer-Duffin's equation. . This facilitates the construction of the theory for multiplets of free bosons quite analogically to the theory for multiplets of free fermions. The equations for free K-mesons and free pi -mesons are derived. Quantum numbers t/sub 3/ and nu /sub 3/ characterizing the kind of a meson are given. The equations for multiplets of mesons are invariant under all transformations of the full Lorentz group. It means, that to the case of bosons the notion of the common parity applies. For comparison it may be mentioned that the equations for fermions are invariant only under simultaneous inversions of the coordinate axes in the common and isospace. To fermions the generalized notion of parity applies, that in the case of leptons coincides with combined parity of Lee and Yang, and Landau. The analysis of experimental results indicates that in the cases of electromagnetic and strong interactions t/sub 3/ and nu /sub 3/ represent constant quantities. In the case of weak interaction only the sum t/sub 3/ + nu /sub 3/ will be constant, while t/sub 3/ and nu /sub 3/ separa tely vary. by plus or minus 1/2. The only invariable charge in any process, attributed to elementary particles, is the electric charge. Baryons possess besides the electiic charge, the strong interaction charge, whose constancy represents the conservation law of baryons. Because there is no conserved charge of weak interaction, it seems that the weak interaction is to be reckoned in equations for free particles. (auth)
