Abstract

The first lecture will be of a historical and introductory nature Its aim will mainly to explain Table 1, a logic-flow chart of theoretical physics as It has developed — from my personal view point — during the period 1967–84.

  57. The u’s. g’s and f’s (for I. K = …...,4) are just the weights of the 8v. 8s. and 8c representations of SO(8) and are related by the triality property of this unique group (see also Section 3.1).

  58. We strongly feel that this is the way we should look at SST phenomenology today. We are too far from being able to extract any detailed predictions to lest a theory. We may be able, however, to reject possibilités (all of them?) on the basis of their gross features.
