TY - JOUR A1 - Navarro, Miguel AU - Aldaya Valverde, Víctor AU - Calixto Molina, Manuel T1 - Relativistic field equations from higher-order polarizations of the Poincaré group Y1 - 1998 SN - 0034-4877 UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10317/521 UR - arXiv:hep-th/9612189v2 AB - The theory of free relativistic fields is shown to arise in a unified manner from higher-order, configuration-space, irreducible representations of the Poincar´e group. A de Sitter subalgebra, in the massive case, and a Poincaré subalgebra, in the massless case, of the enveloping algebra of the Poincaré group are the suitable higher-order polarizations. In particular, a simple group-theoretic derivation of the Dirac equation is given.
