Abstract:

The property of some finite -algebras to appear as the commutant of a particular subalgebra in a simple Lie algebra is exploited for the obtention of new -realizations from a “canonical” differential one.

The method is applied to the conformal algebra so(4,2) and therefore yields also results for its Poincar\'e subalgebra. Unitary irreducible representations of these algebras are recognized in this approach, which is naturally compared -or associated- to the induced representation technique.
