Hadrons in an SL¯(4,openR) classification

Abstract
Covariance, as commonly realized by relativistic fields carrying nonunitary representations of GL¯(4,openR), also provides infinite-component world spinorial and tensorial ‘‘manifields.’’ These can be used to describe the phenomenology of hadron excitations, whatever the precise QCD mechanism. Energy levels follow the approximate symmetry due to the geometric features of color confinement. We assign to each of several manifields the relevant hadronic system for a single flavor. The presently known resonances are successfully accommodated and various missing states predicted.
