It is shown, using techniques inspired by the method of orbits, that each non-zero mass, positive energy representation of the Poincaré group 𝒫 1 , 1 = S O ( 1 , 1 ) s 2 can be obtained via contraction from the discrete series of representations of S U ( 1 , 1 ) .

Unitary Representations of Reductive Lie Groups

One of the fundamental problems of abstract harmonic analysis is the determination of the irreducible unitary representations of simple Lie groups. After recalling why this problem is of interest, we discuss the present state of knowledge about it. In the language of Kirillov and Kostant, the problem finally is to «quantize» nilpotent coadjoint orbits.
