Current-Generated Algebras

Abstract

We assume that a component of the F-spin current is utilized as part or all of the vector weak current for strongly interacting particles. Likewise we assume that the same component of an axial vector current octet is part or all of the axial vector weak current. The space integrals of the time components of these two octets then generate, by repeated equal time commutation relations, some algebra. We describe the classification of these possible algebras and give some examples. The algebra SU(3) × SU(3) proposed earlier is not only the smallest of these possible candidates. It is also uniquely selected if the two octets exhaust the whole weak current of strongly interacting particles and if that current has the same algebraic properties as the weak current of the known leptons, in accord with the principle of universality of weak interactions.
