Abstract
Representation mixing of meson states is considered with particular reference to the 1 ←→ 15 mixing in SU(4). The 16 meson states are assigned to the representation (4*, 4) of a non-chiral group SU(4) ⊗ SU(4), whose factors are related by charge-conjugation. Mass formula, mixing angles and electromagnetic mass shifts are rigorously derived. Connection of the present formalism with conventional quark model is pointed out and generalisations to higher groups SU(n) ⊗ SU(n) as well as to higher representations, are indicated.
