The Wigner-Eckart theorem is a well known result for tensor operators of su(2) and, more generally, any compact Lie algebra. In this paper the theorem will be generalized to the particular non-compact case of sl(2,R). In order to do so,…
This work focuses on non-compact groups and their applications to quantum gravity, mainly through the use of tensor operators. First, the mathematical theory of tensor operators for a Lie group is recast in a new way which is used to…
The concept of the Schwinger Representation of a finite or compact simple Lie group is set up as a multiplicity-free direct sum of all the unitary irreducible representations of the group. This is abstracted from the properties of the…

We prove Wigner-Eckart theorem for the irreducible tensor operators for arbitrary Hopf algebras, provided that tensor product of their irreducible representation is completely reducible. The proof is based on the properties of the…
We explicitly establish a unitary correspondence between spherical irreducible tensor operators and cartesian tensor operators of any rank. That unitary relation is implemented by means of a basis of integer-spin wave functions that…
The tensor product of vector and arbitrary representations of the nonstandard q-deformation U'_q(so(n)) of the universal enveloping algebra U(so(n)) of Lie algebra so(n) is defined. The Clebsch-Gordan coefficients of tensor product of…

In honor of Minkowski's great contribution to Special Relativity, celebrated at this conference, we first review Wigner's theory of the projective irreducible representations of the inhomogeneous Lorentz group. We also sketch those parts of…
Tensor operators in graded representations of Z_{2}-graded Hopf algebras are defined and their elementary properties are derived. Wigner-Eckart theorem for irreducible tensor operators for U_{q}[osp(1\mid 2)] is proven. Examples of tensor…
The defining conditions for the irreducible tensor operators associated with the unitary irreducible corepresentions of compact quantum group algebras are deduced first in both the right and left regular coaction formalisms. In each case it…
A novel approach to the finite dimensional representation theory of the entire Lorentz group $\operatorname{O}(1,3)$ is presented. It is shown how the entire Lorentz group may be understood as a semi-direct product between its identity…
Defining conditions for irreducible tensor operators associated with the unitary irreducible corepresentations of compact quantum group algebras are deduced within the framework of the abstract carrier space formalism. It is shown that…
We construct an extension of the proper orthochronous Lorentz group that includes space-time transformations for observers moving with superluminal relative velocities in arbitrary direction. This extension is generated by a realization of…
Lorentz's group represented by the hypercomplex system of numbers, which is based on dirac matrices, is investigated. This representation is similar to the space rotation representation by quaternions. This representation has several…
A representation theory of the quantized Poincar\'e ($\kappa$-Poincar\'e) algebra (QPA) is developed. We show that the representations of this algebra are closely connected with the representations of the non-deformed Poincar\'e algebra. A…
We consider the generalization of the "spinor approach" to the Lorentzian case, in the context of 3d loop quantum gravity with cosmological constant $\Lambda=0$. The key technical tool that allows this generalization is the recoupling…
We investigate the Schr\"odinger representations of certain infinite-dimensional Heisenberg groups, using their corresponding Wigner transforms.
Wigner's little groups are the subgroups of the Lorentz group whose transformations leave the momentum of a given particle invariant. They thus define the internal space-time symmetries of relativistic particles. These symmetries take…
