Extension of the Poincaré Group and Non-Abelian Tensor Gauge Fields

Abstract

In the recently proposed generalization of the Yang-Mills theory the group of gauge transformation gets essentially enlarged. This enlargement involves an elegant mixture of the internal and space-time symmetries. The resulting group is an extension of the Poincaré group with infinitely many generators which carry internal and space-time indices. This is similar to the super-symmetric extension of the Poincaré group, where instead of an anti-commuting spinor variable one should introduce a new vector variable. The construction of irreducible representations of the extended Poincaré algebra identifies a vector variable with the derivative of the Pauli-Lubanski vector over its length. As a result of this identification the generators of the gauge group have nonzero components only in the plane transversal to the momentum and are projecting out non-Abelian tensor gauge fields into the transversal plane, keeping only their positively definite space-like components.
