Differential Equations and Mathematical Physics Seminar
The next meeting of the Differential Equations and Mathematical Physics Seminar will be held on September 11, 2024, at 2:00 pm, in Room 478 of IMI - BAS and online in Zoom. A talk on Wigner’s elementary systems in de Sitter spacetime will be delivered by Hamed Pejhan. Abstract: Quantum elementary systems are associated with (projective) unitary irreducible representations (UIRs) of the relativity group (or one of its covering groups). This foundational perspective was first introduced by Wigner in his seminal 1939 paper, within the framework of Einstein-Poincaré relativity. In this talk, building on Wigner’s approach, we will briefly introduce the de Sitter relativity group, its representations, and outline the basics of constructing elementary systems within the global structure of de Sitter spacetime.
