    Abstract :

    ...Through a new four components non-connex group, acting on a ten dimensional space, composed by (x,y,z,t) plus six additional dimensions we give a description of particles like photon, proton, neutron, electrons, neutrinos ( e, m and t ) and their anti, through the coadjoint action on the momentum space. Quantum numbers become components of the moments. Matter and antimatter are interpreted as two different movements of mass-points in this

     

     { z 1, z 2, z 3, z 4, z 5, z 6, x , y , z , t } space

     
    matter movement taking place in the {z i > 0} half space and antimatter in the remnant {z i < 0} one.

    The z-Symmetry :

    {z i ---> - z i }

    which there goes with charge conjugation, becomes the definition of matter-antimatter duality.

    1) Introduction.

    ...As pointed out by J.M.Souriau in his book [1] the Poincaré group, as a dynamic group for physics, arises a problem about the sign of the mass.

    Everything starts from the Lorentz group L, whose element L is axiomaticaly defined by :

    (1)

    where :

    (2)

     

    The Lorentz group acts on space-time :
    (3)

    through the action :

    (4)

     
    The matrix G comes from the expression of the Lorentz metric (with c=1) :

    (5)

     

    We know than the Lorentz group is composed by four components :

    Ln is the neutral componant, which contains the neutral element 1, i.e. the peculiar matrix :

    (6)

     

    Ls , the second component, contains the matrix :

    (7)

     

    which reverses space.

    Lt , the third component, contains the matrix :

    (8)

     

    which reverses time.

    Lst , the fourth component, contains the matrix :

    (9)

     

    which reverses both space and time.

    From the Lorentz group one builds the Poincaré group Gp, whose element is :

    (10)

     
    C is a space-time translation :

    (11)

     
    ...If we use the four components of the complete Lorentz group L , (10) will be called the complete Poincaré group. As the Lotentz group, it owns four components :

    - Its neutral component :

    (12) (4212)

    built with the neutral component Ln of the Lorentz group L.

    - A second component :

    (13)

    built with the component Ls of the Lorentz group.
