A fully relativistic, gauge invariant, and nonperturbative calculation of the Δ++ magnetic moment, μΔ++, is made using equal-time commutation relations (ETCRs) and the dynamical concepts of asymptotic SUF(2) flavor symmetry and asymptotic level realization. Physical masses of the Δ and nucleon are used in this broken-symmetry calculation. It is found that μΔ++=2.04μp, where μp is the proton magnetic moment. This result is very similar to that obtained by using SU(6)⊗O(3) symmetry or the static quark model. © 1994, Società Italiana di Fisica. All rights reserved.
