For readers interested in the history of chiral symmetry we present the translation of two papaers from 1955 and 1959 from German to English, in which chiral symmetry properties for weak and strong interactions have been postulated and discussed.
We study the current-algebra approach to the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum rule, paying particular attention to the infinite-momentum limit. Employing the order-alpha^2 Weinberg-Salam model of weak interactions as a testing ground, we find that the legitimacy of the infinite-momentum limit is intimately connected with the validity of the naive equal-times algebra of electric charge densities. Our results considerably reduce the reliability of a recently proposed modification of the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum rule, originating from an anomalous charge-density algebra.
