Discrete Reflection Groups and Induced Representations of Poincare Group on the Lattice
نویسنده
چکیده
We continue the program, presented in previous Symposia, of discretizing physical models. In particular we calculate the integral Lorentz transformations with the help of discrete reflection groups, and use them for the covariance of Klein-Gordon and Dirac wave equation on the lattice. Finally we define the unitary representation of Poincaré group on discrete momentum and configuration space, induced by integral representations of its closed subgroup.

On the real representations of the Poincare group
We do a study of the real representations of the Poincare group, motivated by the following: i) the classical electromagnetic field —from which the Poincare group was originally defined— transforms as a real representation of the Poincare group; ii) the localization of complex unitary representations of the Poincare group is incompatible with causality, Poincare covariance and energy positivity...
متن کاملThe orthogonal real representations of the Poincare group
DRAFT VERSION The Majorana spinor is an element of a 4 dimensional real vector space. The Majorana spinor representations of the Rotation and Lorentz groups are irreducible. The spinor fields are space-time dependent spinors, solutions of the free Dirac equation. We define the Majorana-Fourier transform and relate it to the linear momentum of a spin one-half Poincare group representation. We sh...
متن کاملRepresentations of the discrete inhomogeneous Lorentz group and Dirac wave equation on the lattice
Abstract. We propose the fundamental and two dimensional representation of the Lorentz groups on a (3+1)-dimensional hypercubic lattice, from which representations of higher dimensions can be constructed. For the unitary representation of the discrete translation group we use the kernel of the Fourier transform. From the Dirac representation of the Lorentz group (including reflections) we deriv...
متن کاملInduce Representation of the Poincare Group on the Lattice: Spin 1/2 and 1 Case
Following standard methods we explore the construction of the discrete Poincaré group, the semidirect product of discrete translations and integral Lorentz transformations, using the Wigner-Mackey construction restricted to the momentum and position space on the lattice. The orbit condition, irreducibility and assimptotic limit are discussed.
متن کاملA classification of hull operators in archimedean lattice-ordered groups with unit
The category, or class of algebras, in the title is denoted by $bf W$. A hull operator (ho) in $bf W$ is a reflection in the category consisting of $bf W$ objects with only essential embeddings as morphisms. The proper class of all of these is $bf hoW$. The bounded monocoreflection in $bf W$ is denoted $B$. We classify the ho's by their interaction with $B$ as follows. A ``word'' is a function ...
