Remarks on the group-theoretical foundations of particle physics

General Physics 2022-10-05 v1

Abstract

I propose the group SL(4,R) as a generalisation of the Dirac group SL(2,C) used in quantum mechanics, as a possible basis on which to build a more general theory from which the standard model of particle physics might be derived as an approximation in an appropriate limit.
