It is well known that the inequivalent unitary irreducible representations (UIR's) of the mapping class group $G$ of a 3-manifold give rise to ``theta sectors'' in theories of quantum gravity with fixed spatial topology. In this paper, we…

Symmetries impose structure on the Hilbert space of a quantum mechanical model. The mathematical units of this structure are the irreducible representations of symmetry groups and I consider how they function as conceptual units of…

In this paper we use the recent developments in the representation theory of locally compact quantum groups, to assign, to each locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$, a locally compact group $\tilde \mathbb{G}$ which is the quantum…

We discuss the differing definitions of complex and quaternionic projective group representations employed by us and by Emch. The definition of Emch (termed here a strong projective representation) is too restrictive to accommodate…

We give an elementary analysis of the multiplicator group of the Galilei group in 1+2 dimensions $G^{\uparrow}_{+}$. For a non-trivial multiplicator we give a list of all the corresponding projective unitary irreducible representations of…

It is shown in this paper that the geometrically structureless spacetime manifold is converted instantaneously to a curved one, the Riemannian or may be a Finslerian spacetime with an associated Riemannian spacetime, on the appearance of…

We introduce the universal Euler characteristic of orbit space definable groupoids, a class of groupoids containing cocompact proper Lie groupoids as well as translation groupoids associated to proper definable group actions. We show that…

If $G$ is a second countable locally compact Hausdorff groupoid with Haar system, we show that every representation induced from an irreducible representation of a stability group is irreducible.

All known elementary vector particles, the photon, Z, W and the gluons, are described by the gauge theory. They belong to the real representation (1/2,1/2) of the Lorentz group. On the other hand inequivalent representations (1,0) and (0,1)…

The formulation of quantum mechanics with a complex Hilbert space is equivalent to a formulation with a real Hilbert space and particular density matrix and observables. We study the real representations of the Poincare group, motivated by…

A global representation is a compatible collection of representations of the outer automorphism groups of the groups belonging to some collection of finite groups $\mathscr{U}$. Global representations assemble into an abelian category…

We show that the category of representations of the Euclidean group of orientation-preserving isometries of two-dimensional Euclidean space is equivalent to the category of representations of the preprojective algebra of infinite type A. We…

We present a new model of quantum computation rooted in the representation theory of the mass less sector of unitary irreducible representations of the extended Poincare group developed in [1].

Let $(\mathcal{G},\nu)$ be a $t$-discrete ergodic groupoid. Consider a finite Von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$ with separable predual. We prove that every uniformly bounded measurable representation $\rho:\mathcal{G} \rightarrow…

The concept of elementary particle rests on the idea that it is a physical system with no excited states, so that all possible kinematical states of the particle are just kinematical modifications of any one of them. The way of describing…

The Standard Model of particle physics provides very accurate predictions of phenomena occurring at the sub-atomic level, but the reason for the choice of symmetry group and the large number of particles considered elementary, is still…

This paper studies connections between the preprojective representations of a valued quiver, the (+)-admissible sequences of vertices, and the Weyl group by associating to each preprojective representation a canonical (+)-admissible…

We give a new self-contained proof of Poincar\'e's Polyhedron Theorem on presentations of discontinuous groups of isometries of a Riemann manifold of constant curvature. The proof is not based on the theory of covering spaces, but only…

The orthogonal groups are a series of simple Lie groups associated to symmetric bilinear forms. There is no analogous series associated to symmetric trilinear forms. We introduce an infinite dimensional group-like object that can be viewed…

With the aim of completing the previous study by A. Or{\l}owski and the author concerning intertwining maps between induced representations and conjugation representation, termed here weighted class operators, we compute the latter…
