The Poincaré group in a demisemidirect product with a non-associative algebra with representations that include particles and quarks. II (Q2269580)

The problem of extending physically relevant groups to larger groups that combine inner and outer symmetries in order to obtain accurate predictions of physical properties is a fundamental one, and emerged naturally after the first success of group theoretical models in particle physics. Pioneering work was done e.g. by \textit{W. McGlinn} [Phys. Rev. Lett. 12, 467--469 (1964; Zbl 0127.44801)] and \textit{L. O'Raifeartaigh} [Phys. Rev., II. Ser. 139, B 1052--B 1062 (1965; Zbl 0127.20903)] in the context of Lorentz invariance, establishing the first results the development of which led to the first no-go theorems [see e.g. \textit{S. Coleman} and \textit{J. Mandula}, Phys. Rev., II. Ser. 159, 1251--1256 (1967; Zbl 0168.23702)] and showed the convenience of considering non-Lie extensions of the underlying symmetry groups, like Lie superalgebras, enabling to consider simultaneously the two types of statistics [\textit{L. Corwin, Y. Ne'eman} and \textit{S. Sternberg}, Rev. Mod. Phys. 47, 573--603 (1975; Zbl 0557.17004)]. Modern developments, mainly in string theories, go beyond the binary structures and are no more subjected to these group theoretical constraints. In this work, a way to surmount these formal difficulties to describe relations between mass and spin of particles is found, by means of Leibniz algebras. This enables to establish mass relations. A detailed discussion of the connection between the phase space representations of the Poincaré group and the phase space representations of the corresponding Leibniz algebra is presented.
