Permutation symmetry for (qqq)<br />

Again<br />

Ψ = ψ(x, y) ψs ψi ψc ,<br />

For <strong>the</strong> ground state of ∆ ++ = (uuu) or Ω − = (sss), this is easy,<br />

each fac<strong>to</strong>r is ei<strong>the</strong>r S or A, where S now means “fully<br />

symmetric” and A “fully antisymmetric”<br />

For <strong>the</strong> nucleon, one has <strong>to</strong> introduce <strong>the</strong> concept of “mixed<br />

symmetry”<br />

The pro<strong>to</strong>type is given by <strong>the</strong> Jacobi coordinates<br />

x = r 2 − r 1 , y = 2 r 3 − r 1 − r 2<br />

√ 3<br />

Odd or even under P12, but ( j = exp(2 i π/3))<br />

P→[y + i x] = j [y + i x] ,<br />
