The Eightfold Way Model, the Su(3)-Flavour Model and the Medium-Strong Interaction

Authors: Syed Afsar Abbas

Lack of any baryon number in the Eightfold Way model, and its intrinsic presence in the SU(3)-flavour model, has been a puzzle since the genesis of these models in 1961-1964. In this paper we show that this is linked to the way that the adjoint representation is defined mathematically for a Lie algebra, and how it manifests itself as a physical representation. This forces us to distinguish between the global and the local charges and between the microscopic and the macroscopic models. As a bonus, a consistent understanding of the hitherto mysterious medium-strong interaction is achieved. We also gain a new perspective on how confinement arises in Quantum Chromodynamics.
