Abstract

The properties of

W

-spin are derived from the group

IU (2, 2)

and its subgroups.

W - S

flip for mesons is obtained from consideration of the four-dimensional rotation group contained in

U (2, 2)

and also from the Duffin-Kemmer algebras. Higher representations are considered, and some

W

-spin selection rules obtained for spin-2 decays.
