The optimal lagrange problem in the composite model of elementary particles

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

A static version of the composite model of fermions is considered. A second variational principle is introduced which leads to a nonclassical Lagrange problem and selects out states with definite energy. The solution of this problem gives both a) the interaction strengths and b) the ground states of the various classes of fermions as functions of the radii of the strong interactions. A relationship is found between the energy of the system of fields and the set of invariants of the general Lorentz group. This relationship can be used as a basis of classification of the fermions; it leads to a new concept about the possible origin of the baryon and lepton charges. The problem is solved by direct methods in a space of singular spinors; this condition is not essential.
