1 Poincaré invariance for continuous - time histories

We show that the relativistic analogue of the two types of time translation in a non-relativistic history theory is the existence of two distinct Poincaré groups. The ‘internal’ Poincaré group is analogous to the one that arises in the standard canonical quantisation scheme; the ‘external’ Poincaré group is similar to the group that arises in a Lagrangian description of the standard theory. In particular, it performs explicit changes of the spacetime foliation that is implicitly assumed in standard canonical field theory.
