The six-point families of exceptional representations of the conformal group (Q2266132): Difference between revisions

As it is well-known the exceptional representations of the conformal group of space-time \(M_ 4\) are topologically reducible, i.e., their representation spaces are partitioned into closed invariant subspaces. The families of these exceptional representations are designated by some ''integer points'' among a set of the elementary representations of the universal covering group \(\tilde G\) of \(G/{\mathbb{Z}}_ 4=SU(2,2)/{\mathbb{Z}}_ 4\) induced by finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the subgroup \(\Gamma_ 2MAN\) where \(M\simeq SL(2,{\mathbb{C}}),\) A and N are the Abelian subgroups associated with dilatations and special conformal transformations, \(\Gamma_ 2\simeq {\mathbb{Z}},\) \(\tilde G/\Gamma \simeq G/{\mathbb{Z}}_ 4,\) and \(\Gamma =\Gamma_ 2\times {\mathbb{Z}}_ 2\) is the centre of \(\tilde G.\) The authors of the paper under review study the six-point families of these exceptional representations of the conformal group, analyze the structure of invariant subspaces, and derive the complete set of the relations of equivalence between the sub- representations.
