We propose a technique called dimensional descent to show that Wigner's little group for massless particles, which acts as a generator of gauge transformation for usual Maxwell theory, has an identical role even for topologically massive…

The translation group T(2), contained in Wigner's little group for massless particles, is shown to generate gauge transformations in the Kalb-Ramond theory, exactly as happens in Maxwell case. For the topologically massive ($B\wedge$F)…

We examine the gauge generating nature of the translational subgroup of Wigner's little group for the case of massless tensor gauge theories and show that the gauge transformations generated by the translational group is only a subset of…

Wigner's little group of a massless particle is ISO(2) which contains rotation and two translations. As well-known, eigenvalues of the rotation are helicity. On the other hand, by S. Weinberg et al., it has been shown that two translations…

A detailed study of certain apspects of some 2+1 dimensional field theories is presented with special emphasis on the role of Wigner's little group for massless particles in generating gauge transformations. The planar models considered…

We show that the translational subgroup of Wigner's little group for massless particles in 3+1 dimensions generate gauge transformation in linearized Einstein gravity. Similarly a suitable representation of the 1-dimensional translational…

Wigner distributions for quantum mechanical systems whose configuration space is a finite group of odd order are defined so that they correctly reproduce the marginals and have desirable transformation properties under left and right…

We discuss the (dual-)gauge transformations for the gauge-fixed Lagrangian density and establish their intimate connection with the translation subgroup T(2) of the Wigner's little group for the free one-form Abelian gauge theory in four…

The possibility of non-trivial representations of the gauge group on wavefunctionals of a gauge invariant quantum field theory leads to a generation of mass for intermediate vector and tensor bosons. The mass parameters m show up as central…

Wigner's little groups are the subgroups of the Lorentz group whose transformations leave the momentum of a given particle invariant. They thus define the internal space-time symmetries of relativistic particles. These symmetries take…

Following the Hamiltonian structure of bi-gravity and multi-gravity models in the full phase space, we have constructed the generating functional of diffeomorphism gauge symmetry. As is expected, this generator is constructed from the first…

The Poincar\'e group can be interpreted as the group of isometries of a minkowskian space. This point of view suggests to consider the group of isometries of a given space as the suitable group to construct a gauge theory of gravity. We…

We discuss the (dual-)gauge transformations and BRST cohomology for the two (1 + 1)-dimensional (2D) free Abelian one-form and four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) free Abelian 2-form gauge theories by exploiting the (co-)BRST symmetries (and…

A group is metabelian if its commutator subgroup is abelian. For finitely generated metabelian groups, classical commutative algebra, algebraic geometry and geometric group theory, especially the latter two subjects, can be brought to bear…

This paper is devoted to the construction and analysis of the Wigner functions for noncommutative quantum mechanics, their marginal distributions and star-products, following a technique developed earlier, {\it viz\/,} using the unitary…

We give an explicit set of generators for the semigroup of the Gr\"obner degeneration of a toric ideal. This set of generators is used to study algebraic properties of the semigroup it generates: approximation of semigroups,…

We consider abelain subgroups of small index in finite groups. More generally, we consider subgroups such that the product of their index by the index of their centralizer is small.

An Abelian gerbe is constructed over classical phase space. The 2-cocycles defining the gerbe are given by Feynman path integrals whose integrands contain the exponential of the Poincare-Cartan form. The U(1) gauge group on the gerbe has a…

An enveloping algebra valued gauge field is constructed, its components are functions of the Lie algebra valued gauge field and can be constructed with the Seiberg-Witten map. This allows the formulation of a dynamics for a finite number of…

We review some aspects of gauged WZW models. By choosing a nilpotent subgroup as gauge group, one is lead to three main applications: the construction of field theories with an extended conformal symmetry, the construction of the effective…
