Abstract
The strong-coupling dynamics, with isospin as the given internal symmetry group, leads to the generation of a larger internal symmetry group (+=I) for the hyperon isobar-pion coupling constants, the hyperon isobar series having isospin-spin . In this connection we describe a "modified contraction" method for constructing the irreducible representations of the strong-coupling group , which starts from the "uncontracted" group and provides a transparent formulation of the dynamical generation of extra symmetry for a class of irreducible representations of group . One more method for constructing the representations of the group is also described which starts from a knowledge of the irreducible representations of inhomogeneous Euclidean group in four dimensions.
