We define a complex relativistic phase space which is the space $\mathbb{C}^4$ equipped with the Minkowski metric and with a geometric tri-product on it. The geometric tri-product is similar to the triple product of the bounded symmetric…
We show that the triple product defined by the spin domain (Bounded Symmetric Domain of type 4 in Cartan's classification) is closely related to the geometric product in Clifford algebras. We present the properties of this tri-product and…
Extended particles are considered in terms of the fields on the Poincar\'{e} group. Dirac like wave equations for extended particles of any spin are defined on the various homogeneous spaces of the Poincar\'{e} group. Free fields of the…
In this paper, starting from pure group-theoretical point of view, we develop a regular approach to describing particles with different spins in the framework of a theory of scalar fields on the Poincare group. Such fields can be considered…
There are Poincare group representations on complex Hilbert spaces, like the Dirac spinor field, or real Hilbert spaces, like the electromagnetic field tensor. The Majorana spinor is an element of a 4 dimensional real vector space. The…
The spin of particles on a non-commutative geometry is investigated within the framework of the representation theory of the q-deformed Poincare algebra. An overview of the q-Lorentz algebra is given, including its representation theory…
Manifestly covariant formulation of discrete-spin, real-mass unitary representations of the Poincar\'e group is given. We begin with a field of spin-frames associated with 4-mometa p and use them to simplify the eigenvalue problem for the…
We present the rigorous derivation of covariant spin operators from a general linear combination of the components of the Pauli-Lubanski vector. It is shown that only two spin operators satisfy the spin algebra and transform properly under…
We present an explicit construction of the unitary irreducible representations of the two-dimensional Euclidean and Poincar\'e groups, together with their Spin double covers, by means of Mackey's theory of induced representations for…
We construct Wigner's continuous spin representations of the Poincar\'e algebra for massless particles in higher dimensions. The states are labeled both by the length of a space-like translation vector and the Dynkin indices of the {\it…
In a Minkowski spacetime, one may transform the Dirac wave function under the spin group, as one transforms coordinates under the Poincar\'e group. This is not an option in a curved spacetime. Therefore, in the equation proposed…
We show that a two twistor phase space {\`a} priori describing two non localized massless and spinning particles may be decomposed into a product of three independent phase spaces: the (forward) cotangent bundle of the Minkowski space, the…
The space-time symmetry group of a model of a relativistic spin 1/2 elementary particle, which satisfies Dirac's equation when quantized, is analyzed. It is shown that this group, larger than the Poincare group, also contains space-time…
We study the massless irreducible representations of the Poincar\'{e} group in the six-dimensional Minkowski space. The Casimir operators are constructed and their eigenvalues are found. It is shown that the finite spin (helicity)…
We formulate Lorentz group representations in which ordinary complex numbers are replaced by linear functions of real quaternions and introduce dotted and undotted quaternionic one-dimensional spinors. To extend to parity the space-time…
There has been substantial calculational progress in the last few years for gauge theory amplitudes which involve massless four dimensional particles. One of the central ingredients in this has been the ability to keep precise track of the…
We propose an approach to the quantum-mechanical description of relativistic orientable objects. It generalizes Wigner's ideas concerning the treatment of nonrelativistic orientable objects (in particular, a nonrelativistic rotator) with…
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…
We propose a new world-line Lagrangian model of the D=4 massless relativistic particle with continuous spin and develop its twistorial formulation. The description uses two Penrose twistors subjected to four first class constraints. After…
It is possible to construct representations of the Lorentz group using four-dimensional harmonic oscillators. This allows us to construct three-dimensional wave functions with the usual rotational symmetry for space-like coordinates and…
