Symmetry scheme for hadrons, leptons, and intermediate vector bosons
A study of the basic representations of the complex Lie algebra D/sub 4/ reveals a classification scheme for hadrons, based on four quarks, leptons and intermediate vector bosons. It is postulated that a violent break-down of the synnmetry for leptons lntroduces lepton mixing wlthin a multiplet, leaving a residual symmetry of U/sub 2/ acting on the doublets (e, nu /sub e/) and ( mu , nu /sub mu ) thereby e stablishing contact with recent Yang-Mills theories of weak and electromagnetic interactions. A concrete realization of the so-called quarklepton correspondence enables the weak hadronic current to be constructed which contains the usual Cabibbo terms, and a neutral current which conserves strangeness.
