Question
A particle can be defined to be on-shell if an equation involving rest mass and this quantity, the mass-shell condition, is satisfied. The dependence of a propagator on this quantity is determined by its values for incoming and outgoing particles, between which it may vary for virtual particles. The Pauli–Lubański pseudovector generates the maximal subgroup of the Poincaré group that leaves the eigenvalues of this quantity invariant, which is its (*) little group. Mandelstam variables are functions of this quantity for two scattering particles. This quantity for tachyons would be a space-like vector. This quantity’s operator equals positive i h-bar times a certain gradient, in contrast to a non-relativistic quantity whose operator equals i h-bar times the gradient. For 10 points, name this generalization of the product of mass and velocity to Minkowski space. ■END■
