We start from a noncompact Lie algebra isomorphic to the Dirac algebra and relate this Lie algebra in a brief review to low energy hadron physics described by the compact group SU(4). This step permits an overall physical identification of…
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…
The fundamental axioms of the quantum theory do not explicitly identify the algebraic structure of the linear space for which orthogonal subspaces correspond to the propositions (equivalence classes of physical questions). The projective…
The N-dimensional Cayley-Klein scheme allows the simultaneous description of $3^N$ geometries (symmetric orthogonal homogeneous spaces) by means of a set of Lie algebras depending on $N$ real parameters. We present here a quantum…
We analyze the elements characterizing the theory of induced representations of Lie groups, in order to generalize it to quantum groups. We emphasize the geometric and algebraic aspects of the theory, because they are more suitable for…
Many relevant applications of group theoretical methods to physical problems are related, in some manner, to classification schemes by means of symmetry groups. In these schemes, irreducible representations of a Lie group have to be…
The physical interpretation of the main notions of the quantum group theory (coproduct, representations and corepresentations, action and coaction) is discussed using the simplest examples of $q$-deformed objects (quantum group…
The current form of quantum mechanics is very successful and is almost certainly correct. It is remarkable, however, that the entire structure-from the mass, spin and charge labels on particlelike states to antisymmetry to broken internal…
To study operator algebras with symmetries in a wide sense we introduce a notion of {\em relative convolution operators} induced by a Lie algebra. Relative convolutions recover many important classes of operators, which have been already…
The Berezin quantization on a simply connected homogeneous K\"{a}hler manifold, which is considered as a phase space for a dynamical system, enables a description of the quantal system in a (finite-dimensional) Hilbert space of holomorphic…
The final version of a new approach to quantum theory is formulated in this paper. The basis is taken to be theoretical variables, variables that may be accessible or inaccessible, i.e., it may be possible or impossible for an observer to…
Symmetry lies at the heart of todays theoretical study of particle physics. Our manuscript is a tutorial introducing foundational mathematics for understanding physical symmetries. We start from basic group theory and representation theory.…
This paper represents one approach to making explicit some of the assumptions and conditions implied in the widespread representation of numbers by composite quantum systems. Any nonempty set and associated operations is a set of natural…
A version of quantum orbit method is presented for real forms of equal rank of quantum complex simple groups. A quantum moment map is constructed, based on the canonical isomorphism between a quantum Heisenberg algebra and an algebra of…
Quantum Lie algebras are generalizations of Lie algebras which have the quantum parameter h built into their structure. They have been defined concretely as certain submodules of the quantized enveloping algebras. On them the quantum Lie…
The main notions of the quantum groups: coproduct, action and coaction, representation and corepresentation are discussed using simplest examples: $GL_q(2)$, $sl_q(2)$, $q$-oscillator algebra ${\cal A}(q)$, and reflection equation algebra.…
We describe several different representations of nilpotent step two Lie groups in spaces of monogenic Clifford valued functions. We are inspired by the classic representation of the Heisenberg group in the Segal-Bargmann space of…
Deformation Theory is a natural generalization of Lie Theory, from Lie groups and their linearization, Lie algebras, to differential graded Lie algebras and their higher order deformations, quantum groups. The article focuses on two basic…
This paper outlines a covariant theory of operators defined on groups and homogeneous spaces. A systematic use of groups and their representations allows to obtain results of algebraic and analytical nature. The consideration is…
Usually in quantum mechanics the Heisenberg algebra is generated by operators of position and momentum. The algebra is then represented on an Hilbert space of square integrable functions. Alternatively one generates the Heisenberg algebra…
