Summary
The weak currents that appear in the leptonic decay modes of the hadrons are classified on the basis of unitary symmetry representations. The development of the theory rests on the notion of conserved vector currents that are implied by the symmetry. The fit with the experimental situation is discussed.
Riassunto
Si classificano sulla base delle rappresentazioni della simmetria unitaria le correnti deboli che compaiono nei modi di decadimento leptonici degli hadroni. Lo sviluppo della teoria si basa sulla nozione di corrente vettoriale conservata, che è implicata dalla simmetria. Si discute la concordanza con la situazione sperimentale.
