de Sitter fibers and SO(3,2) spectrum generating group for hadrons
Ideas of general relativity theory are applied to hadron physics. A vague description of Drechsler's de Sitter fiber bundle is given first, followed by a brief review of Biedenharn and van Dam's dynamical stability group, which functions as a spectrum-generating group. The theory presented can be understood as a combination of the two above proposals: the system which this theory describes is called the rigid relativistic rotator. This idea is slightly generalized by allowing for a discrete number of radii of the de Sitter fibers instead of one radius, which can be interpreted as taking for the de Sitter radius an operator with discrete spectrum instead of a number, and by taking-instead of Biedenharn and van Dam's representations of SO(3,2)--a more complicated representation. This generalization is the general relativistic rotator. The particle spectrum of this de Sitter rotator is then compared with the experimental data on experimental evidence for the de Sitter spectrum. 2 figures, 1 table. (RWR)
