✦ Synopsis

With the help of a new representation of the Lorentz group in terms of complex relativistic Euler angles we determine a specific set of finite-dimensional vector spaces irreducible under Lorentz transfol•mations. If we further associate every elementary particle family with such a space we obtain a set of wave equations, among which an interesting new possibility for baryon waves.
