Abstract: We note that the description of elementary particles in anti-de Sitter (AdS) quantum theory differs radically from standard approaches. Since the Cartan subalgebra of the AdS algebra has rank 2, it is necessary to consider only those elements that explicitly depend on the eigenvalues of operators in the irreducible representations (IRs) of the algebra. In the literature, AdS symmetry is widely invoked in various quantum applications, such as AdS/QCD. However, such frameworks typically do not take into account the unconventional properties of the AdS algebra IRs investigated in the present paper.
