We construct a model of quark and lepton compositeness based on an $SU(15)$ gauge interaction that confines chiral preons, which are also charged under the weakly-coupled $SU(4)_{\rm PS} \times SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R$ gauge group. The…
Starting from the defining transformations of complex matrices for the $SO(4,R)$ group, we construct the fundamental representation and the tensor and spinor representations of the group $SO(4,R)$. Given the commutation relations for the…

Recently a global SU(4) \supset SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_A symmetry of the confining Coulombic part of the QCD Hamiltonian has been discovered with N_F=2. This global symmetry includes both independent rotations of the left- and…
A SU(2) intertwiner with N legs can be interpreted as the quantum state of a convex polyhedron with N faces (when working in 3d). We show that the intertwiner Hilbert space carries a representation of the non-compact group SO*(2N). This…
We present a systematic method to classify the four-level system using $SU(4)$ symmetry as the basis group. It is shown that this symmetry allows three dipole transitions which eventually leads to six possible configurations of the…
Recent lattice results on Dirac low-mode removed $J=1,2$ mesons and $J=\frac{1}{2}$ baryons reveal the appearance of a new $SU(4)$ symmetry of confinement. Here the degeneracy of all $J=2$ iso-vector states within an irreducible…
We study $S$-wave interactions of the baryon decuplet with the octet of pseudoscalar mesons using the lowest order chiral Lagrangian. We find two bound states in the SU(3) limit corresponding to the octet and decuplet representations. These…
Recently, a new symmetry of mesons has been found upon truncation of the quasi-zero modes of the Overlap Dirac operator in lattice simulations. Namely, the $\rho,\rho',\omega,\omega',a_1, b_1,h_1$ and possibly $f_1$ $J=1$ mesons get…
A quantum spin-1/2, and its associated su(2) algebra of Pauli spin matrices are familiarly linked to Clifford algebra and quaternions. Somewhat more loosely, we develop connections between the su(4) algebra of two spins and of its…
We study quantum systems with even numbers N of levels that are completely state-controlled by unitary transformations generated by Lie algebras isomorphic to sp(N) of dimension N(N+1)/2. These Lie algebras are smaller than the respective…
Using the Dirac (Clifford) algebra $\gamma^{\mu}$ as initial stage of our discussion, we summarize and extend previous work with respect to the isomorphic 15dimensional Lie algebra su$*$(4) as complex embedding of sl(2,$\mathbb{H}$), the…
We propose a set of 4 recurrence relations whose linear combination gives the number of group invariants, equivalently the dimension of the invariant subspace, in the tensor product of an arbitrary number of adjoint representations of the…
In order to clarify the connection between {\it current} and {\it constituent} quarks (of u,d,s flavors), several authors have used the lightlike chiral $SU(3)\otimes SU(3)$ algebra as a central concept. This literature is reviewed here…
We construct an explicit example of dimensional reduction of the free massless Dirac operator with an internal SU(3) symmetry, defined on a twelve-dimensional manifold that is the total space of a principal SU(3)-bundle over a…
