We construct the E theory analogue of the particles that transform under the Poincare group, that is, the irreducible representations of the semi-direct product of the Cartan involution subalgebra of E11 with its vector representation. We…
In this review we show that a Clifford algebra possesses a unique irreducible representation; the spinor representation. We discuss what types of spinors can exist in Minkowski space-times and we explain how to construct all the…
The light-cone little group, SO(9), classifies the massless degrees of freedom of eleven-dimensional supergravity, with a triplet of representations. We observe that this triplet generalizes to four-fold infinite families with the quantum…
The representation theory of involutory (or 'maximal compact') subalgebras of infinite-dimensional Kac-Moody algebras is largely terra incognita, especially with regard to fermionic (double-valued) representations. Nevertheless, certain…
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…
The monograph offers a coherent and self-contained treatment of massless (ladder) representations of the conformal group U(2,2) and their restriction to the de Sitter group Sp(2,2), combining rigorous representation-theoretic analysis with…
We emphasize that the group-theoretical considerations leading to SO(10) unification of electro-weak and strong matter field components naturally extend to space-time components, providing a truly unified description of all generation…
We review the recently constructed non-trivial fermionic representations of the infinite-dimensional subalgebra K(E10) of the hyperbolic Kac--Moody algebra E10. These representations are all unfaithful (and more specifically, of finite…
We present the supersymmetric extension of the recently constructed E$_{8(8)}$ exceptional field theory -- the manifestly U-duality covariant formulation of the untruncated ten- and eleven-dimensional supergravities. This theory is…
We study the massless irreducible representations of the Poincar\'{e} group in the six-dimensional Minkowski space. The Casimir operators are constructed and their eigenvalues are found. It is shown that the finite spin (helicity)…
The boson representation of the sp(4,R) algebra and two distinct deformations of it, are considered, as well as the compact and noncompact subalgebras of each. The initial as well as the deformed representations act in the same Fock space.…
There has been substantial calculational progress in the last few years for gauge theory amplitudes which involve massless four dimensional particles. One of the central ingredients in this has been the ability to keep precise track of the…
The problem of decomposition of unitary irreps of (super) tensorial (i.e. extended with tensorial charges) Poincar{\'e} algebra w.r.t. its different subalgebras is considered. This requires calculation of little groups for different…
We analyse the M-theoretic generalisation of the tangent space structure group after reduction of the D=11 supergravity theory to two space-time dimensions in the context of hidden Kac-Moody symmetries. The action of the resulting…
We study free, covariant, quantum (Bose) fields that are associated with irreducible representations of the Poincar\'e group and localized in semi-infinite strings extending to spacelike infinity. Among these are fields that generate the…
Minimal unitary representation of $SO(d,2)$ and its deformations describe all the conformally massless fields in $d$ dimensional Minkowskian spacetimes. In critical dimensions these spacetimes admit extensions with twistorial coordinates…
We determine the representations of the ``conformal'' group ${\bar{SO}}_0(2, n)$, the restriction of which on the ``Poincar\'e'' subgroup ${\bar{SO}}_0(1, n-1).T_n$ are unitary irreducible. We study their restrictions to the ``De Sitter''…
The structure of representations describing systems of free particles in the theory with the invariance group SO(1,4) is investigated. The property of the particles to be free means as usual that the representation describing a…
In this paper various representations of the exceptional Lie algebra G_2 are investigated in a purely algebraic manner, and multi-boson/multi-fermion realizations are obtained. Matrix elements of the master representation, which is defined…
Contemporary presentation of the version 1 demonstrates briefly the development of our investigations and our future goals. The improved free of difficulties in interpretation and printing errors version is presented. The 256-dimensional…
