In this paper, we develop the quantum theory of particles that has discrete Poincar\'{e} symmetry on the one-dimensional Bravais lattice. We review the recently discovered discrete Lorentz symmetry, which is the unique Lorentz symmetry that…

In standard quantum field theory, the one-particle states are classified by the unitary representations of the Poincar\'e group, whereas the causal fields' classification employs the finite-dimensional (non-unitary) representations of the…

We construct coherent states of the massless and massive representations of the Poincar\'e group. They are parameterised by points on the classical state space of spinning particles. Their properties are explored, with special emphasis on…

Following standard methods we explore the construction of the discrete Poincare group, the semidirect product of discrete translations and integral Lorentz transformations, using the Wigner-Mackey construction restricted to the momentum and…

Resonances, or scattering poles, are complex numbers which mathematically describe meta-stable states: the real part of a resonance gives the rest energy, and its imaginary part, the rate of decay of a meta-stable state. This description…

It is known that every irreducible unitary representation of positive energy of the Poincar\'e group can be realized as a subspace of tensor fields on Minkowski spacetime subjected to suitable partial differential equations. We first…

Fix K a p-adic field and denote by G_K its absolute Galois group. Let K_infty be the extension of K obtained by adding (p^n)-th roots of a fixed uniformizer, and G_\infty its absolute Galois group. In this article, we define a class of…

We construct Wigner's continuous spin representations of the Poincar\'e algebra for massless particles in higher dimensions. The states are labeled both by the length of a space-like translation vector and the Dynkin indices of the {\it…

We discuss the quantum Lax-Phillips theory of scattering and unstable systems. In this framework, the decay of an unstable system is described by a semigroup. The spectrum of the generator of the semigroup corresponds to the singularities…

In this paper, starting from pure group-theoretical point of view, we develop a regular approach to describing particles with different spins in the framework of a theory of scalar fields on the Poincare group. Such fields can be considered…

We present a review of the description of hadron properties along an invariant mass operator in the point form of Poincar\'e-invariant relativistic dynamics. The quark-quark interaction is furnished by a linear confinement, consistent with…

The unitary irreducible representations of a Lie group defines the Hilbert space on which the representations act. If this Lie group is a physical quantum dynamical symmetry group, this Hilbert space is identified with the physical quantum…

We examine canonical quantization of relativistic field theories on the forward hyperboloid, a Lorentz-invariant surface of the form $x_\mu x^\mu = \tau^2$. This choice of quantization surface implies that all components of the 4-momentum…
