We prove in a constructive way the existence of an analytic nonlinear representation of the Poincar~ group in a Banach space, the linear part of which is the massless representation with helicity + 1 (or -1). Furthermore, this nonlinear representation is shown to be analytically unequivalent to any
Let Un(a, A) be a massless, helicity n/2, representation of the Poinear6 group in 3 + 1 dimensions. Un(a,A) is realized in an adapted nuclear space ~n. We explicitly determine the various classes of cohomology for the extension of Un(a, A) by Un1(a, A)| Un2(a, A).
ln this paper explicit basis functions are defined for the Poincark group. Both these functions and the representation matrix elements are continuous functions of the momentum variables for the whole real p2 spectrum, including the p2 = 0 point. The essence of our method is to enlarge previously obt
