چکیده
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 derive in a natural way the wave equation on the lattice for spin 1/2 particles. Finally the induced representation of the discrete inhomogeneous Lorentz group is constructed by standard methods and its connection with the continuous case is discussed.

Discrete Reflection Groups and Induced Representations of Poincare Group on the Lattice
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, i...
متن کاملElectronic Transmission Wave Function of Disordered Graphene by Direct Method and Green's Function Method
We describe how to obtain electronic transport properties of disordered graphene, including the tight binding model and nearest neighbor hopping. We present a new method for computing, electronic transport wave function and Greens function of the disordered Graphene. In this method, based on the small rectangular approximation, break up the potential barriers in to small parts. Then using the f...
متن کاملExact solutions of the Dirac equation and induced representations of the Poincaré group on the lattice
We deduce the structure of the Dirac field on the lattice from the discrete version of differential geometry and from the representation of the integral Lorentz transformations. The analysis of the induced representations of the Poincaré group on the lattice reveals that they are reducible, a result that can be considered a group theoretical approach to the problem of fermion doubling. 1. DISCR...

In this work, attempts are made to study the dispersion of Love waves in dry sandy layer sandwiched between fiber reinforced layer and inhomogeneous half space.Inhomogeneity in half space associated with density and rigidity and considered in exponential form. Displacement components for fiber reinforced layer, dry sandy layer and inhomogeneous half-space have been obtained by using method of s...
متن کاملTowards Non-Commutative Deformations of Relativistic Wave Equations in 2+1 Dimensions
We consider the deformation of the Poincaré group in 2+1 dimensions into the quantum double of the Lorentz group and construct Lorentz-covariant momentum-space formulations of the irreducible representations describing massive particles with spin 0, 12 and 1 in the deformed theory. We discuss ways of obtaining non-commutative versions of relativistic wave equations like the Klein–Gordon, Dirac ...
