Abstract
We present an algebraic description of the geometric structure of baryons in terms of the algebra U (7). We construct a mass operator that preserves the threefold permutational symmetry and discuss a collective model of baryons with the geometry of an oblate symmetric top. This model is applied to the mass spectrum and the photocoupling amplitudes of nonstrange baryon.
