On unitary, irreducible representations of the proper, orthochronous Lorentz group - art. no. 053502

摘要

The theory of unitary, irreducible representations of the proper, orthochronous Lorentz group is presented by means of the usual tensor calculus in Minkowski space-time. This makes all steps manifestly Lorentz invariant. Explicit expressions for spherically symmetric eigenfunctions of the first Casimir operator C-1 of the proper, orthochronous Lorentz group are calculated and their completeness is proved.
