We provide a detailed decomposition of Wigner's particles, defined as unitary irreducible representations of the Poincar\'e group, in terms of unitary representations of its Lorentz subgroup. As pointed out before us, this decomposition…

We present the generalization of the CNC formalism, based on closed and noncontextual sets of Pauli observables, to the setting of odd-prime-dimensional qudits. By introducing new CNC-type phase space point operators, we construct a…

We generate non-linear representations of the Lorentz Group by unitary transformation over the Lorentz generators. To do that we use deformed scale transformations by introducing momentum-depending parameters. The momentum operator…

One of the key conceptual challenges in quantum gravity is to understand how quantum theory should modify the very notion of spacetime. One way to investigate this question is to study the alternatives to Schr\"odinger quantum mechanics.…

Successful applications of a conceptually novel setup of Quantum Field Theory, that accounts for all subtheories of the Standard Model (QED, Electroweak Interaction and Higgs, Yang-Mills and QCD) and beyond (Helicity 2), call for a…

In the theory of nets of observable algebras, the modular operators associated with wedge regions are expected to have a natural geometric action, a generalization of the Bisognano-Wichmann condition for nets associated with…

In integrable models of quantum field theory, local fields are normally constructed by means of the bootstrap-formfactor program. However, the convergence of their $n$-point functions is unclear in this setting. An alternative approach uses…

In designing and optimizing new-generation nanomaterials and related quantum devices, dissipation versus decoherence phenomena are often accounted for via local scattering models, such as relaxation-time and Boltzmann-like schemes. Here we…

Though the irreducible representations of the Poincare' group form the groundwork for the formulation of relativistic quantum theories of a particle, robust classes of such representations are missed in current formulations of these…

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…

Wigner functions are broadly used to probe non-classical effects in the macroscopic world. Here we develop an orbital-free functional framework to compute the 1-body Wigner quasi-probability for both fermionic and bosonic systems. Since the…

We will establish the connection between the Lorentz covariant and so-called single-time formulation for the quark Wigner operator. To this end we will discuss the initial value problem for the Wigner operator of a field theory and give a…

We study the problem of localization in Quantum Field Theory (QFT) from the point of view of inertial and accelerated experimenters. We consider the Newton-Wigner, the Algebraic Quantum Field Theory (AQFT) and the modal localization…

Various aspects of the geometric setting of Algebraic Quantum Field Theory (AQFT) models related to representations of the Poincar\'e group can be studied for general Lie groups, whose Lie algebra contains an Euler element, i.e., ad h is…

We develop a generalization of the Wigner scheme for constructing the relativistic fields corresponding to irreducible representations of the four-dimensional Poincar\'{e} group with infinite spin. The fields are parameterized by a vector…

The notion of Wigner particles is attached to irreducible unitary representations of the Poincare group, characterized by parameters m and s of mass and spin, respectively. However, the Lorentz symmetry is broken in theories with long-range…

The Projection Postulate from Standard Quantum Mechanics relies fundamentally on measurements. But measurements implicitly suggest the existence of anthropocentric notions like measuring devices, which should rather emerge from the theory.…

In the framework of the Joos-Weinberg 2(2S+1)- theory for massless particles, the dynamical invariants have been derived from the Lagrangian density which is considered to be a 4- vector. A la Majorana interpretation of the 6- component…

The Bisognano-Wichmann property on the geometric behavior of the modular group of the von Neumann algebras of local observables associated to wedge regions in Quantum Field Theory is shown to provide an intrinsic sufficient criterion for…
