Special relativity and quantum mechanics are likely to remain the
two most important languages in physics for many years to come. The
underlying language for both disciplines is group theory. Eugene P.
Wigner's 1939 paper on the Unitary Representations of the
Inhomogeneous Lorentz Group laid the foundation for unifying the
concepts and algorithms of quantum mechanics and special
relativity. In view of the strong current interest in the
space-time symmetries of elementary particles, it is safe to say
that Wigner's 1939 paper was fifty years ahead of its time. This
edited volume consists of Wigner's 1939 paper and the major papers
on the Lorentz group published since 1939. . This volume is
intended for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in
physics and mathematics, as well as mature physicists wishing to
understand the more fundamental aspects of physics than are
available from the fashion-oriented theoretical models which come
and go. The original papers contained in this volume are useful as
supplementary reading material for students in courses on group
theory, relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory,
relativistic electrodynamics, general relativity, and elementary
particle physics. This reprint collection is an extension of the
textbook by the present editors entitled "Theory and Applications
of the Poincare Group." Since this book is largely based on the
articles contained herein, the present volume should be viewed as a
reading for the previous work. continuation of and supplementary We
would like to thank Professors J. Bjorken, R. Feynman, R.
Hofstadter, J.
