Emmy-Noether-theorem
For each symmetry in nature, there is one conserved observable quantity!
symmetry transformation(U is unitary matrix)
G: generator of symmetry group
G is hermitian operator, thus related to a physics observable
physics invariant under U transformation, thus [U,H] = 0 → [G,H] = 0
G is operator of a conserved physics observable
infinitesimal small transformation finite transformation

One example: SU(2) Isospin symmetry
Heisenberg(1932)
Proton and neutron are same particles with respect to strong IA (ignoring charge)!This concept was then later extended to u, d quarks.
physics invariant under rotation in isospin space
U: 2 x2 unitary matrix → 4 complex parameters → 8 real parameters + 4 unitary conditions → 4 independent parameters, thus 4 generators of U(2) group
physics is symmetric under an overall phase transformation it is however not a rotation in isospin space
→ three generators are left which form SU(2) [subgroup of U(2) with det(U)=1]→ generators G of SU(2) are traceless matrices
2D representation of generators of SU(2) are Pauli matrices

To descripe set of total isospin = J, need (2J+1)-dimensional representation of SU(2)
For any representation of SU(2), following relations are valid:

Combining two quarks to mesons
Charged and neutral pions are member of same isospin doublet, thus should be in same flavour multiplet as well.
singulet state must be symmetric in flavour
exploiting orthogonality:
You can apply any ladder operator on singuletand it yields 0.

Connection between Lagrangien, Feynman rules and Symmetries
To each Lagrangian, there corresponds a set of Feynman rules. Once theserules are identified, the connection is made.
If physics is symmetric under some transformation, the Lagrangian must reflect thissymmetry. Thus it need to be extended by (interaction) terms.
Symmetries define Lagrangien, Lagrangien defines interaction
