In mathematical physics, the Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau algebra (DKP algebra), introduced by R.J. Duffin, Nicholas Kemmer and G. Petiau, is the algebra which is generated by the Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau matrices. These matrices form part of the Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau equation that provides a relativistic description of spin-0 and spin-1 particles. The DKP algebra is also referred to as the meson algebra.〔Jacques Helmstetter, Artibano Micali: ''About the Structure of Meson Algebras'', Advances in Applied Clifford Algebras, vol.&nbsnp;20, no. 3-4, pp. 617-629, , (abstract )〕 == Defining relations == The Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau matrices have the defining relation〔See introductory section of: Yu V.

The Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau matrices for which consists in diagonal elements (+1,-1,…,-1) form part of the Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau equation. Five-dimensional DKP matrices can be represented as:〔See for example I. Boztosun, M. Karakoc, F. Yasuk, A.

Capri: ''Relativistic quantum mechanics and introduction to quantum field theory'', World Scientific, 2002, ISBN 981-238-136-8, (p. 25 )〕 :, , , These five-dimensional DKP matrices represent spin-0 particles. The DKP matrices for spin-1 particles are 10-dimensional.〔 The DKP-algebra can be reduced to a direct sum of irreducible subalgebras for spin‐0 and spin‐1 bosons, the subalgebras being defined by multiplication rules for the linearly independent basis elements.〔Ephraim Fischbach, Michael Martin Nieto, C.
