Abstract
In the first paper of this series we showed how, in the bootstrap theory, the currents associated with the hadrons could be determined from a set of self-consistency conditions. In the present paper we show that these "self-consistent" currents satisfy a current algebra. The proof is accomplished without recourse to any approximate model. It includes the interesting case of nonconserved currents. The convergence of sum rules derived from current algebras is investigated in detail, and shown to be most rapid when no "nonbootstrap" terms are present. Using these convergence properties, we discuss how and when current algebras can give rise to hadron symmetries.Keywords
