Abstract
The algebra of vector and axial-vector charge densities at infinite momentum is solved (disregarding relativistic invariance), giving the most general form of these densities in the two-quark model of the mesons. The possibility of these solutions satisfying the angular condition for relativistic invariance is considered, and for SU(1) currents it is found that if we cannot find a covariant solution in the simple case where the current is a sum of contributions from each quark and the mass of the two-quark system is SU(3)-independent, then we cannot find any covariant SU(3)-symmetric solution of the current algebra in this model, even with a singlet-octet mass splitting.
