Double Symmetry and Infinite-Component Field Theory

Abstract

Qualitative characteristics and the rigorous definition of a concept of the double symmetry is given. We use some double symmetry for constructing a theory of fields not investigated before which transform as the proper Lorentz group representations decomposable into infinite direct sums of finite-dimentional irreducible representations. All variants of the double-symmetric free Lagrangian of such fields are in brief described. The solution of the problem of changing Lagrangian mass terms due to a spontaneous breaking of the secondary symmetry is stated. The general properties of the mass spectra of fermions in the considered theory are given. It is pointed out a region of free parameters where the theoretical mass spectra qualitatively correspond to a picture typical for the parton model of hadrons.
