We recently observed the iso-singlet scalar sigma(600)-particle and theiso-doublet scalar kappa(900)-particle, through the re-analyses of pi pi- and Kpi-scattering phase shifts, respectively. First, assuming the two iso-singletstates, the sigma(600) and the established f0(980), being the ideal mixingstates n n and s s, respectively, of a single scalar nonet, it is pointed outthat the mass value of the iso-singlet flavor-octet state, obtained from theorthogonal transformation, satisfies, together with the kappa(900) and theiso-triplet scalar a0(980)-particle, the Gell-Mann Okubo mass-formula.Furthermore, it is argued that, by investigating their properties of masses andwidths, this scalar sigma-nonet, together with the pseudo-scalar pi-nonet,realizes the linear representation of SU(3) chiral symmetry.Comment: 9 pages, 1 Postscript figure, uses ptptex.st
