Representations of Extended Carroll Group

Abstract

Carroll's group is presented as a group of transformations in a 5-dimensional space ($\mathcal{C}$) obtained by embedding the Euclidean space into a (4; 1)-de Sitter space. Three of the five dimensions of $\mathcal{C}$ are related to ${\mathcal{R}}^3$, and the other two to mass and time. A covariant formulation of Caroll's group, analogous as introduced by Takahashi to Galilei's group, is deduced. Unit representations are studied.
