Abstract

A harmonic oscillator mass spectrum is developed through a relativistic covariant method in unifying the external and internal variables of a hadron leading to a dynamical Lie algebra. It is shown that through the introduction of an internal variable ξμ, which behaves as a 'direction vector', attached to each space-time point, χμ, and the spatial extension, Xi, of the composite system, we can uniquely determine a harmonic oscillator mass spectrum. This is valid even when the constituents are taken to be massless. Moreover, when these internal variables are associated with the internal symmetry, the mass splitting due to the internal symmetry breaking is incorporated in this formalism and no adhoc consideration is necessary. The mass spectrum of the neutral isovector and isoscalar mesons is computed in this framework.
