For a massive positive-energy unitary irreducible representation of the Poincaré group with signature , choose a rest frame. The Pauli-Lubanski pseudovector has zero time component and spatial components , up to a common sign convention. Its square is therefore . The SU(2) little-group representation has spin and , proving the invariant value. The mass and spin label the massive induced representation of the Poincare double cover.
