Abstract
The approach in which physical systems are described by the elements of a linear space over a finite field, and operators of physical quantities by linear operators in this space, is discussed. The mathematical formulation of the correspondence between such a description and the conventional one is given for a case when the characteristic of the finite field is sufficiently large. The above correspondence is considered in the examples of finite analogs of representations of so(2,3), so(1,4), and osp(1,4) algebras. Finite analogs of representations of infinite‐dimensional algebras are briefly discussed.Keywords
