Projective Group Representations in Quaternionic Hilbert Space
نویسنده
چکیده
We extend the discussion of projective group representations in quaternionic Hilbert space which was given in our recent book. The associativity condition for quaternionic projective representations is formulated in terms of unitary operators and then analyzed in terms of their generator structure. The multi–centrality and centrality assumptions are also analyzed in generator terms, and implications of this analysis are discussed.

Response to the Comment by G. Emch on Projective Group Representations in Quaternionic Hilbert Space
We discuss the differing definitions of complex and quaternionic projective group representations employed by us and by Emch. The definition of Emch (termed here a strong projective representation) is too restrictive to accommodate quaternionic Hilbert space embeddings of complex projective representations. Our definition (termed here a weak projective representation) encompasses such embedding...

متن کاملThe orthogonal representation of the Poincare group on the Majorana spinor field
The irreducibility of a representation of a real Lie algebra may depend on whether the representation space is a real or complex Hilbert space. The unitary projective representations of the Poincare group on complex Hilbert spaces were studied by Wigner and many others. Although the Poincare group has a real Lie algebra, we do not know of any study of the orthogonal projective representations o...
متن کاملDivision Algebras and Quantum Theory
Quantum theory may be formulated using Hilbert spaces over any of the three associative normed division algebras: the real numbers, the complex numbers and the quaternions. Indeed, these three choices appear naturally in a number of axiomatic approaches. However, there are internal problems with real or quaternionic quantum theory. Here we argue that these problems can be resolved if we treat r...
متن کاملMaps to Spaces in the Genus of Infinite Quaternionic Projective Space
Spaces in the genus of infinite quaternionic projective space which admit essential maps from infinite complex projective space are classified. In these cases the sets of homotopy classes of maps are described explicitly. These results strengthen the classical theorem of McGibbon and Rector on maximal torus admissibility for spaces in the genus of infinite quaternionic projective space. An inte...
