We present a construction of string--localized covariant free quantum fields for a large class of irreducible (ray) representations of the Poincare group. Among these are the representations of mass zero and infinite spin, which are known…

We study free, covariant, quantum (Bose) fields that are associated with irreducible representations of the Poincar\'e group and localized in semi-infinite strings extending to spacelike infinity. Among these are fields that generate the…

For any massless, irreducible representation of the covering of the proper, orthochronous Poincar\'e group we construct covariant, free quantum fields that generate the representation space from the vacuum and are localized in semi-infinite…

String-localized quantum fields transforming in Wigner's infinite-spin representations were introduced by Mund, Schroer and Yngvason. We construct these fields as limits of fields of finite mass $m\to 0$ and finite spin $s\to\infty$. We…

The standard formulation of gauge theories results from the Lagrangian (functional integral) quantization of classical gauge theories. A more intrinsic qunantum theoretical access in the spirit of Wigner's representation theory shows that…

Positive energy ray representations of the Poincar\'e group are naturally subdivided into three classes according to their mass and spin content: m>0, m=0 finite helicity and m=0 infinite helicity. For a long time the localization…

We put forward an interpretation of scalar quantum field theory as relativistic quantum mechanics by curing well known problems related to locality. A probabilistic interpretation of quantum field theory similar to quantum mechanics is…

We develop a generalization of the Wigner scheme for constructing the relativistic fields corresponding to irreducible representations of the four-dimensional Poincar\'{e} group with infinite spin. The fields are parameterized by a vector…

Wigner's irreducible positive energy representations of the Poincare group are often used to give additional justifications for the Lagrangian quantization formalism of standard QFT. Here we study another more recent aspect. We explain in…

In the absence of interactions indecomposable positive energy quantum matter comes in form of three families of which the massless so called "infinite spin" family which appeared first in Wigner's famous 1939 work is (if mentioned at all)…

Particles states transforming in one of the infinite spin representations of the Poincar\'e group (as classified by E. Wigner) are consistent with fundamental physical principles, but local fields generating them from the vacuum state…

A recent idea, put forward by Mund, Rehren and Schroer, is discussed; it suggests that in gauge quantum field theory one can replace the point-localized gauge fields by string-localized vector potentials built from gauge invariant…

Massive quantum matter of prescribed spin permits infinitely many possibilities of covariantization in terms of spinorial (undotted/dotted) pointlike fields, whereas massless finite helicity representations lead to large gap in this…

We formulate the conditions for the generalized fields in the space with additional commuting Weyl spinor coordinates which define the infinite half-integer spin representation of the four-dimensional Poincar\'e group. Using this…

We consider a quantum field theory on a spherically symmetric quantum space time described by loop quantum gravity. The spin network description of space time in such a theory leads to equations for the quantum field that are discrete. We…

A structural explanation of the coupling constants in the standard model, i.e the fine structure constant and the Weinberg angle, and of the gauge fixing contributions is given in terms of symmetries and representation theory. The coupling…

We introduce and study the generalized Wigner operator. By definition, such an operator transforms the Wigner wave function into a local relativistic field corresponding to an irreducible representation of the Poincar\'e group by extended…

A quantum equivalence principle is formulated by means of a gravitational phase operator which is an element of the Poincare group. This is applied to the spinning cosmic string which suggests that it may, but not necessarily, contain…

We consider a matrix space based on the spin degree of freedom, describing both a Hilbert state space, and its corresponding symmetry operators. Under the requirement that the Lorentz symmetry be kept, at given dimension, scalar symmetries,…

The paper is devoted to a description of quantum group structures in the geometric quantization of a self-interacting string field, which appear under a transition from a tree-level of the theory to the account of loop effects in…
