Abstract

The invariants constructed of quantities transforming as representations of the Lorentz group are shown to be possibly classified according to representations of the group SL(3C) or SU 3. This is due to the symmetry properties of the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients which were derived by Regge. We propose that the SU 3 symmetry of elementary particles is connected with this property of relativistic invariants, while the SU 6 symmetry between the spin and charge variables is connected with certain symmetry properties of the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients.
