De Sitter symplectic spaces and their quantizations

Extract
The de Sitter group, Spin (4, 1), is a simply connected, semi-simple, ten-dimensional Lie group which can be contracted to the inhomogeneous Lorentz group. Physical systems with the de Sitter group as asymmetry group should resemble those of the inhomogeneous Lorentz group and may provide an alternative to these systems of special-relativistic physics. Details of physics in de Sitter space from the group theoretical view-point are given in (3). The de Sitter group is also known to be a symmetry group for the bound states of the hydrogen atom, and recent work has shown how this group acts on the corresponding classical system, the Kepler problem. See (8).
