In this work, we show that extending the standard description of space-time symmetries from groups of isometries to the more flexible framework of kinematical groupoids allows for the extension of Wigner's program to curved space-times. We…

A peculiar feature of quantum states is that they may embody so-called projective representations of symmetries rather than ordinary representations. Projective representations of space groups-the defining symmetry of crystals-remain…

We study the restriction to the symmetric group, $\mc{S}_n$ of the adjoint representation of $\mt{GL}_n(\C)$. We determine the irreducible constituents of the space of symmetric as well as the space of skew-symmetric $n\times n$ matrices as…
