Abstract
In this chapter we apply the general theory of symmetry actions as developed in Chaps. 2 and 3 to the Galilei groups of Chap. 4 splitting the treatment again into the 3 + 1 and 2 + 1 dimensional cases. We find it worthwhile, however, to start with a general analysis of the constraints imposed by the relativity principle on the description of a physical system in quantum mechanics.
