Unitary representation of the Poincaré group for classical relativistic dynamics

  • 1. Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas, Cra 7 No. 40B-53, Bogotá (Colombia)

Description

We give a unitary irreducible representation of the proper Poincaré group that leads to an operational version of the classical relativistic dynamics of a massive spinless particle. Unlike quantum mechanics, in this operational theory there is no uncertainty principle between position and momentum. It will be shown that the theory contains the Koopman–von Neumann formalism as a particular case, and an explicit connection with relativistic Hamiltonian mechanics will be given.
