I am reading texts on QFT and they place a lot of emphasis on finding irreducible representations of the Lorentz/Poincare Group. I also recall some level of discussion from non-relativistic quantum mechanics, and I've also read up a bit on them in texts on representation theory. I am wondering however why they are particularly significant to physicists. If anyone could clarify this for me it would be greatly appreciated.
