On new realizations of the poincare groups P (1,2) and P(2, 2) (Q4516182)

The problem of studying realizations of the Poincaré groups \(P(1, 2)\) and \(P(2, 2)\) as local Lie groups of transformations is considered in the paper. Recall that the Poincaré group \(P(n, m)\) is the Lie group of transformations \[ \widetilde{x_{\mu}}=f_{\mu}(x,u,a),\quad \mu =1, \ldots,n+m, \quad \widetilde{u_{i}}=g_{i}(x, u, a), \quad i=1,\ldots,k \] in the space \(V=X\otimes U\) where \(X=R^{n, m}=\langle x\rangle=\langle x_{1}, \ldots, x_{n+m}\rangle\) is the pseudoeuclidean space with metric tensor \(g_{\alpha,\beta}=1\) for \(\alpha=\beta =1,\ldots,n\) and \(g_{\alpha,\beta}=-1\) for \(\alpha=\beta=n+1, \ldots, n+m\), and \(g_{\alpha,\beta}=0\) for \(\alpha\not=\beta,\) and \(U=R^{k}=\langle u\rangle=\langle u_{1},\ldots,u_{k}\rangle\) is the Euclidean space and \(a=\{a_{j},j=1,\ldots,(n+m)(n+m+1)/2\}\) are group parameters. These transformations preserve the quadratic form \(S(x)=g_{\alpha \beta}x_{\alpha}x_{\beta}.\) The Lie algebra \(p(n, m)\) of the Lie group \(P(n, m)\) has a base consisting of \((n+m)(n+m+1)/2\) generators: translations \(P_{\mu},\) rotations and pseudorotations \(J_{\alpha\beta}.\) Some realizations of the Lie algebra \(p(1,2)\) as operators of the form \(\xi^{\mu}(x,u)\partial _{x_{\mu}}+\eta^{j}(x,u)\partial_{u_{j}}\) with smooth functions \(\xi^{\mu},\eta^{j}\) are obtained. Eight covariant non-equivalent realizations for the Lie algebra \(p(1, 2)\) are given. For the Lie algebra \(p(2, 2),\) a number of covariant realizations is also built which are arranged in three tableaus.
