Summary:: Looking for best literature or online courses on projective unitary representations of the Poincare Group.
I'm watching an online course on relativistic QFT. I understand that because this theory deals with both QM and SR, there is a need to represent Lorentz transformations with unitary equivalents. The course itself points out this requirement but does not really explain it in a rigorous way. My impression is that it is fairly complicated. I'm hoping to understand it without first getting my PhD in math. I'm looking for well-written literature or good online lectures on this subject.
Thanks in advance.
