We build the R-operator as a product of more elementary operators S_1, S_2 and S_3. Operators S_1 and S_3 are identified with intertwining operators of two irreducible representations of the conformal algebra and the operator S_2 is obtained from the intertwining operators S_1 and S_3 by a certain duality transformation. There are star-triangle relations for the basic building blocks S_1, S_2 and S_3 which produce all other relations for the general R-operators. In the case of the conformal algebra of n-dimensional Euclidean space we construct the R-operator for the scalar (spin part is equal to zero) representations and prove that the star-triangle relation is a well known star-triangle relation for propagators of scalar fields. In the special case of the conformal algebra of the 4-dimensional Euclidean space, the R-operator is obtained for more general class of infinite-dimensional (differential) representations with nontrivial spin parts. As a result, for the case of the 4-dimensional Euclidean space, we generalize the scalar star-triangle relation to the most general star-triangle relation for the propagators of particles with arbitrary spins.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-10-01T06:42:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "conformal algebra", "r-operator", "representations", "nontrivial spin parts", "general star-triangle relation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1007/JHEP04(2013)020", "journal": "Journal of High Energy Physics", "year": 2013, "month": "Apr", "volume": 2013, "pages": 20 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1118757, "adsabs": "2013JHEP...04..020C" } } }
