Abstract: (Springer)
Two subgroups of the Poincaré group are shown to play a particlar role in the case of charged systems in an external electromagnetic field which is constant and uniform. Projective representations of these subgroups involve the electric charge as a generator of a phase factor. Additivity and superselection rules for charge appear as direct consequences.
