⟨HNR⟩\langle H_{\rm NR}\rangle

Why this formula appears here

Holding b\mathbf b , v\mathbf v , M , and ⟨\langle HNRH_{\rm NR}⟩\rangle fixed and sending c→\to∞\infty , the second term vanishes and the first survives unchanged, converting a state-dependent relativistic phase into a fixed, universal constant multiplying every vector in the fixed- M sector — Bargmann’s central charge, reconstructed as the low-velocity limit of a quantity that was never central to begin with. This is exactly the contraction procedure Inönü and Wigner formalized for groups and their representations in general [ 3 ] , applied here to one specific commutator rather than asserted as a general slogan. The nonrelativistic mass superselection rule is, on this reading, the shadow a fully…
