Can Infinite Multiplets Be Inferred from the Weak Decay Rates?

Abstract
An algebraic model B describing symmetry breaking, which was considered in a previous paper for the mass spectrum problem, is applied to the weak decays Kl3, Kl2, πl3, and πl2. It gives constant form factors, ξ=1, and a suppression of the strangeness-changing decays (Cabibbo angles) of Sl2=0.28(tanθAM) and Sl3=0.18(tanθVM). The results also allow the determination of all parameters that characterize the representation of B and its spectrum-generating group SL(3,c), from which the infinite dimensionality of the multiplets can be inferred.
