We identify an extended Poincare symmetry $ISO(2) \times ISO(3,1)$ for on-shell massive scattering amplitudes, transforming under the $U(2)$ Little group symmetry. Thus the one-particle state involves in both spin and transversality $t$…
Linear spinor fields are a generalization of the Dirac field that have direct correspondence with the known physics of fermions, inherent causality properties in their most fundamental constructions, and positive mass eigenvalues for all…
For those finite-matrix representations of the Lorentz group of rotations/boosts with spin $(A,B)\oplus(C,D)$ that can also represent translations, two possible translation subgroups qualify. Of these two, one must be selected, and one…
In this work, we systematically derive explicit expressions for the Poincar\'e Group generators on arbitrary-rank tensors and spinor-tensors in $D=3+1$ and $D=2+1$ spacetimes, thus generalizing previous works in the literature for the…
The velocity basis of the Poincare group is used in the direct product space of two irreducible unitary representations of the Poincare group. The velocity basis with total angular momentum j will be used for the definition of relativistic…
Following the approach of Grignani and Nardelli [1], we show how to cast the two-dimensional model $L \sim curv^2 + torsion^2 + cosm.const$ -- and in fact any theory of gravity -- into the form of a Poincare gauge theory. By means of the…
The class of accelerated and rotating reference frames has been studied on the basis of generalized Fermi-Walker coordinates. We obtain the infinitesimal transformations connecting any two of these frames and also their commutation…
We classify the possible behaviour of Poincar\'e-Dulac normal forms for dynamical systems in $R^n$ with nonvanishing linear part and which are equivariant under (the fundamental representation of) all the simple compact Lie algebras and…
Henri Poincar\'e formulated the mathematics of Lorentz transformations, known as the Poincar\'e group. He also formulated the Poincar\'e sphere for polarization optics. It is shown that these two mathematical instruments can be derived from…
We obtain the Poincare group generators by proper choice of arbitrary functions present in the Relativistic Theory of Gravitation (RTG) Hamiltonian. Their Dirac brackets give the Poincare algebra in accordance with the fact that RTG has 10…
The eight nonisomorphic Drinfel'd double (DD) structures for the Poincar\'e Lie group in (2+1) dimensions are explicitly constructed in the kinematical basis. Also, the two existing DD structures for a non-trivial central extension of the…
It is noted that the Poincar\'e sphere for polarization optics contains the symmetries of the Lorentz group. The sphere is thus capable of describing the internal space-time symmetries dictated by Wigner's little groups. For massive…
A method of quantizing parametrized systems is developed that is based on a kind of ``gauge invariant'' quantities---the so-called perennials (a perennial must also be an ``integral of motion''). The problem of time in its particular form…
A Z3 symmetric generalization of the Dirac equation was proposed in recent series of papers, where its properties and solutions discussed. The generalized Dirac operator acts on "coloured spinors" composed out of six Pauli spinors,…
We present a new interpretation for reduced density matrices of secondary variables in relativistic systems via an analysis of Wigner's method to construct the irreducible unitary representations of the Poincar\'e group. We argue that the…
Lorentz's group represented by the hypercomplex system of numbers, which is based on dirac matrices, is investigated. This representation is similar to the space rotation representation by quaternions. This representation has several…
Geometrical applications of the non-compact form of Cartan's exceptional Lie group G(2) is considered. This group generates specific rotations of 7-dimensional Minkowski-like space with three extra time-like coordinates and in some limiting…
First we argue in an informal, qualitative way that it is natural to enlarge space-time to five dimensions to be able to solve the problem of elementary particle masses. Several criteria are developed for the success of this program.…
A novel method is developed to derive the original Dirac equation and demonstrate that it is the only Poincare invariant dynamical equation for 4-component spinor wavefunctions. New Poincare invariant generalized Dirac and Klein-Gordon…
A general scheme of construction and analysis of physical fields on the various homogeneous spaces of the Poincar\'{e} group is presented. Different parametrizations of the field functions and harmonic analysis on the homogeneous spaces are…
