Flavour singlet of three scalar quarks

ID: flavour-singlet-of-three-scalar-quarks

If three quarks are hypothetically spin-zero bosons, their total state is symmetric under particle exchange. In an symmetric spatial state, the unchanged antisymmetric three-quark colour singlet therefore requires an antisymmetric quark flavour state. With three flavours its space is , of dimension one. The sole flavour state contains one quark of each flavour and has total angular momentum zero.
