De Sitter quasigroups (Q5959216)

In the first part of the paper the author determined the Cayley-Klein parameters for the de Sitter groups and also the four-dimensional double valued irreducible representations of these groups. These representations are analogous to the SL\((2,\mathbb C)\) double-valued irreducible representations of the proper orthochronous Lorentz group. The second part of the present paper is concerned with an extension of the investigations of quasigroups connected with the quasi-rotations in Minkowski space. The author determined the quasi-rotations nonassociative groups related to the de Sitter groups \(\text{SO}(1,4)\) and \(\text{SO}(3,2)\). Also a particular type of a quasigroup connected to the sedenion group is determined. The covariance of the Dirac equation is demonstrated with respect to the nonassociative group of quasi-rotations that is connected to the proper orthochronous Lorentz group. A similar kind of covariance is shown with respect to the nonassociative group of quasi-rotations that is related to the de Sitter groups. Also the author discusses some hidden symmetries of of the Dirac equation in terms of the nonassociative group of quasi-rotations.
