A Structural Approach to Relativistic Symmetry: Dual Relativity and the Lorentz–Heisenberg Algebra
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This paper studies a realization-theoretic problem inside the standard Lorentz-covariant Fourier-dual framework on L2(R3,1): whether position-space and momentum-space geometric translations can be placed on equal structural footing without leaving the ordinary X- and K-polarized realizations. Working on the common Schwartz core S(R3,1), we first isolate a Fourier-compatibility obstruction: Fourier transform exchanges geometric translations with character actions, while the Poincaré algebra contains at most one Lorentz-covariant abelian translation ideal. The main result is that, within the resulting Fourier-compatible realization class, the minimal operator-generated Lie algebra is the Lorentz–Heisenberg algebra. We then determine the full center of its universal enveloping algebra, derive the normalized Lorentz-bivector invariants, orbit data, and connected stabilizers in nondegenerate sectors, and show that the orbit variable is a normalized Lorentz bivector rather than a momentum vector. Finally, for fixed spectral elements in the dual translation sectors, we derive the associated scalar, Dirac, and vector equations in position and momentum space and show that, in the regular polarized realizations, the represented Heisenberg sector induces dual local abelian phase groups, compatible covariant derivatives, curvatures, and primary Dirac–Maxwell systems.
