Partial Symmetry

Abstract

Partial symmetry is proposed as the general basis for a phenomenological method that replaces current algebra. Its practical merit is displayed through a reinterpretation of combined internal and spin transformations. Among various results referring to coupling constants, magnetic moments, and electromagnetic decays, the following is noted: $-\frac{G_A}{G_V}=2^{-\frac{1}{2}}\times \frac{5}{3}=\mathrm{1.18.}\mathrm{}$
