# Chapter A, §A.4 — Prop 81 / Notes 80–83: the Bargmann–Wigner rep group laws

Source: `book.tex` §A.4 (line 5636), **Notes 80–83 / Proposition 81** — the
massive (Note 80 complex / **Prop 81** real) and massless-discrete-helicity
(Notes 82–83) irreducible projective Poincaré representations, realized in the
Majorana formalism with the explicit little-group action `L_S` and translation
action `T_a`.

Following the roadmap directive for this item ("state the reps as structures and
*verify the group-rep axioms* for the given `L_S, T_a` (checkable), citing Wigner
for exhaustiveness"), this file formalizes the concrete, self-contained
**group-representation axioms** of the little-group and translation factors of
the Poincaré rep, on the `2×2` little-group models of §A.4:

* **Massive little group `SU(2)` (Prop 79, `ChapterA4c`).** The spin-`½` factor
  `L_S` is the defining representation `S ↦ S` of the massive little group. Its
  representation axioms are the group axioms of `SUtwo`:
  `SUtwo_one_mem` (identity), `SUtwo_mul_mem` (closure — respects composition),
  `SUtwo_conjTranspose_mem` / `SUtwo_inv` (`S⁻¹ = S†` is again in `SU(2)`). The
  higher spin-`j` reps are the symmetric tensor powers of this defining rep
  (`EXTERNAL` Wigner exhaustiveness; the base case is here).
* **Massless little group `SE(2)` (Prop 79, `ChapterA4d`).** The
  discrete-helicity factor is realized on `SEtwo`; the same group axioms
  `SEtwo_one_mem`, `SEtwo_mul_mem` verify it is a representation domain.
* **Translation factor `T_a`.** On 3-momentum space the translation by `a⃗` acts
  as the phase `T_a(p⃗) = e^{i p⃗·a⃗}`. Its representation axioms are additivity
  `transPhase_add` (`T_{a+b} = T_a T_b`), `transPhase_zero` (`T_0 = 1`), and
  unitarity `transPhase_abs` (`|T_a| = 1`) — the abelian translation subgroup is
  represented by unit-modulus phases (a genuine unitary one-parameter-per-axis
  group).

Everything is `sorry`-free and `axiom`-free (only `propext`, `Classical.choice`,
`Quot.sound`); **no `EXTERNAL` hypothesis** enters these group-law verifications
(the *exhaustiveness* of the Bargmann–Wigner classification — that these are
*all* the irreps — is the cited Wigner 1939 / Mackey backbone, not these
axiom checks).

/-! ## Constraint preservation: the massive little group fixes the rest frame

On the `4×4` Majorana model the spatial rotation generators `γⁱγʲ` (the Lie
algebra of the massive little group `SU(2)`, which fixes the standard rest
momentum) commute with the energy-sign operator `iγ⁰` of `ChapterA4e`, hence with
the positive-energy Dirac projector `P₊`.  This is the Bargmann–Wigner
rep-consistency statement for the massive irreps: the massive little-group action
preserves the positive-energy (Dirac) constraint subspace. -/

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
