This work focuses on non-compact groups and their applications to quantum gravity, mainly through the use of tensor operators. First, the mathematical theory of tensor operators for a Lie group is recast in a new way which is used to…
On the basis of the Wigner unitary representations of the covering group ISL(2,C) of the Poincar\'{e} group, we obtain spin-tensor wave functions of free massive particles with arbitrary spin. The wave functions automatically satisfy the…
We show that both perturbative and non-perturbative parts of universal partition functions of Chern-Simons theory on 3d sphere are ratios of four over four Barnes' quadruple gamma functions with arguments given by linear combinations of…
Relativistic resonances and decaying states are described by representations of Poincar\'e transformations, similar to Wigner's definition of stable particles. To associate decaying state vectors to resonance poles of the $S$-matrix, the…
The Wigner little group for massless particles is isomorphic to the Euclidean group ${\rm SE}(2)$. Applied to momentum eigenstates, or to infinite plane waves, the Euclidean "Wigner translations" act as the identity. We show that when…
There is an avatar of the little hierarchy problem of the MSSM in 3-dimensional supersymmetry. We propose a solution to this problem in AdS$_3$ based on the AdS/CFT correspondence. The bulk theory is a supergravity theory in which U(1)…
A general formalism to evaluate time-reversal odd transverse momentum dependent parton distributions (T-odd TMDS) is reviewed and applied to the calculation of the leading-twist quantities, i.e., the Sivers and the Boer-Mulders functions.…
A description of elementary particles should be based on irreducible representations of the Poincar\'e group. In the theory of massive representations of the full Poincar\'e group there are essentially four different cases. One of them…
We build unitary representations of the BMS algebra and its higher-spin extensions in three dimensions, using induced representations as a guide. Our prescription naturally emerges from an ultrarelativistic limit of highest-weight…
We construct one-particle states as unitary, irreducible representations of Poincare group in front form, characterized by a special null vector, dubbed reference vector. We demonstrate that this construction has massive-massless…
In an earlier paper we have constructed a basis of massless single particle quantum states which transform in the unitary principal series representation of the four dimensional Lorentz group. The S-matrix written in this basis gives rise…
We provide a construction of the multiplicative Borcherds lift for unitary groups U(1,m), which takes weakly holomorphic elliptic modular forms and lifts them to meromorphic automorphic forms having infinite product expansions and taking…
We show that the non-linear BMS$_5$ symmetry algebra of asymptotically flat Einstein gravity in five dimensions, as well as the super-BMS$_4$ superalgebra of asymptotically flat supergravity, can be redefined so as to take a direct sum…
A theorem of Weyl tells us that the Lorentz (and parity) invariant polynomials in the momenta of $n$ particles are generated by the dot products. We extend this result to include the action of an arbitrary permutation group $P \subset S_n$…
The challenge of defining a physical notion of gravitational waves, together with the associated dynamical degrees of freedom of a gravity theory, is a long-standing problem that famously lead to the discovery the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS)…
We study d=2+1 non-commutative U(1) YMCS, concentrating on the one-loop corrections to the propagator and to the dispersion relations. Unlike its commutative counterpart, this model presents divergences and hence an IR/UV mechanism, which…
In this paper we propose a unified statistics of Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac statistics by suggesting that every particle can be associated with matter or fundamental forces with certain probability. The main Justification for this…
An alternative description of quantum scattering processes rests on inhomogeneous terms amended to the Schroedinger equation. We detail the structure of sources that give rise to multipole scattering waves of definite angular momentum, and…
We consider d=10 N=1 supersymmetry algebra with maximal number of tensor charges Z and introduce a class of orbits of Z, invariant w.r.t. the $T_8$ subgroup of massless particles' little group $T_8\ltimes SO(8)$. For that class of orbits we…
Symmetry invariants of a group specify the classes of quasiparticles, namely the classes of projective irreducible co-representations in systems having that symmetry. More symmetry invariants exist in discrete point groups than the full…
