Remarks on the generators of theSU3 group

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

It is suggested that the sign of theλ 5 matrix among the generators of theSU3 group be changed. The rotation senses around the three axes of the group basic space would thereby be made coherent. Furthermore, various relations, in particular commutation rules, would become symmetrical. Relations between two representations of Weyl’s subgroup ofSU3 are given.

Riassunto

Si suggerisce di cambiare il segno della matriceλ 5 fra i generatori del gruppoSU3. I sensi di rotazione attorno ai tre assi dello spazio fondamentale del gruppo diventerebbero coerenti. Inoltre varie relazioni, in particolare le regole di commutazione, diventerebbero simmetriche. Si dànno le relazioni fra due rappresentazioni del sottogruppo di Weyl dellaSU3.
