In a generalized Heisenberg/SchrΓΆdinger picture, the unitary representations of the Lorentz group may, for a massive relativistic particle, be used to attribute to waves an extra wavelength that is longer than the de Broglie wavelength. Propagators are defined as spacetime transitions between states
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 transfolβ’mations. If we further associate every elementary particle family with such a space we obtain a
