THE 27-FOLD WAY AND OTHER WAYS: SYMMETRIES OF MESON-BARYON RESONANCES

Abstract

Meson-baryon resonances are discussed within the framework of unitary symmetry based upon the Gell-Mann-Ne'eman baryon octet (the eightfold way). It is argued that the low-lying J isobars realize a twenty-seven dimensional representation of SU(3). Purely group-theoretic considerations directly following from unitary symmetry are compared with dynamical considerations suggested by the coupling constant combinations required by unitary symmetry and R-symmetry. Higher resonances are briefly discussed. (Author)
