Abstract
The algebraic realizations of chiral symmetry obtained by Weinberg are investigated for the case of SU(3) symmetry. When only p-wave interactions are taken into account, the algebraic realization of the first superconvergence condition is given by the Lie algebra of the group SU(2)SU(6). The mass matrix obtained from the second superconvergence relation corresponds to degenerate masses within each of the multiplets (V=0,56) and (V=2,56). The consequences of particle classification under the group SU(2)SU(6) are enumerated.
