ajb Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 The Coleman-Mandula theorem explicitly uses Lie algebras to describe the symmetries of S-matrices. One way round this is to pass to super Lie algebras, as is very well-known. Less well known is the idea that we could use quantum groups (Hopf algebras) to get around the theorem. My question is: Can we use Groupoids and Lie algebroids to find a loop-hole in the Coleman-Mandula theorem? I cannot find anything in the literature? (This may mean we cannot use them in this way) Anyone come across any work along these lines? Cheers.
