Abstract
Symmetries have played an important role
in the elucidation of the structure of nuclei
and will continue to do so for exotic nuclei.
As an example, an application of pseudo-
SU(4) symmetry
is discussed.
It can be used as a starting point for a boson model
that includes
T=0 as well as
T=1 bosons (IBM-4);
applications are presented for
N=Z nuclei
from
58Cu to
70Br.
