The momentum of a free massive particle, invariant under translation, thereby realizes a trivial representation of the translation group. By allowing nontrivial reps of translations, momentum changes with translation, a recipe for force.…

Nontrivial translation matrices occur for spin (A,B)+(C,D) with |A-C| = |B-D| = 1/2, necessarily associating a (C,D) field with a spin (A,B) field. Including translation matrices in covariant non-unitary Poincare representations also…

A construction of massive free fields with arbitrary spin and reversed spin-statistics relation is presented. The main idea of the construction is to consider fields that transform according to representations of the Lorentz group that are…

From one point of view in the quantum theory of fields, free quantum fields are uniquely determined, not by field equations, but by the transformations of the field and the annihilation and creation operators from which the field is…

A `covariant' field that transforms like a relativistic field operator is required to be a linear combination of `canonical' fields that transform like annihilation and creation operators and with invariant coefficients. The Invariant…

In a low energy effective theory, the fields of heavy particles with mass $m$ and total momentum $p$ depend on both a velocity $v$ and a residual momentum $k$ such that $p =mv +k$. However, there is some arbitrariness in such a description…

In this article we construct a massive theory of gravity that is invariant under conformal transformations. The massive action of the theory depend on the metric tensor and a scalar field, which are considered as the only field variables.…

Lorentz boosts on particles with spin and momentum degrees of freedom induce momentum-dependent rotations. Since, in general, different particles have different momenta, the transformation on the whole state is not a representation of the…
