Abstract

We discuss the relation of the existence of multiplets of (strongly) interacting particles and the possible unitary symmetry of their interactions. We present here a dynamical principle which concerns the one-particle propagators (two-point functions) but yielding the existence of a (unitary) symmetry group for their trilinear interactions. We derive, as a by-product, electric charge (and hypercharge) conservation in the interaction of these particles.
