We construct an explicit algebraic realisation of three fermion generations within a single Clifford algebra, transforming under the full Standard Model $SU(3)_C\times SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y$ gauge group, in which an intrinsic $S_3$ family…
The Standard Model (SM) is a chiral theory, where right- and left-handed fermion fields transform differently under the gauge group. Extra fermions, if they do exist, need to be heavy otherwise they would have already been observed. With no…
It has been proposed several times in the past that one can obtain an equivalent, but in many aspects simpler description of fermions by first reformulating their first-order (Dirac) Lagrangian in terms of two-component spinors, and then…
We argue that the gauge $SL(2N,C)$ theories may point to a possible way where the known elementary forces, including gravity, could be consistently unified. Remarkably, while all related gauge fields are presented in the same adjoint…
We develop a self-consistent $Spin(4,4)$-invariant model of the unification of gravity with weak $SU(2)$ gauge and Higgs fields in the visible and invisible sectors of our Universe. We consider a general case of the graviweak unification,…
A theory in which 16-dimensional curved Clifford space (C-space) provides a realization of Kaluza-Klein theory is investigated. No extra dimensions of spacetime are needed: "extra dimensions" are in C-space. We explore the spin gauge theory…
We present an effective unified theory based on noncommutative geometry for the standard model with neutrino mixing, minimally coupled to gravity. The unification is based on the symplectic unitary group in Hilbert space and on the spectral…
In a previous paper [1] we proposed a purely mathematical way to quantum mechanics based on Cartan's simple spinors in their most elementary form of 2 component spinors. Here we proceed along that path proposing, this time, a symmetric…
The E. Cartan's equations defining "simple" spinors (renamed "pure" by C. Chevalley) are interpreted as equations of motions for fermion multiplets in momentum spaces which, in a constructive approach based bilinearly on those spinors,…
We explore the potential of ultimate unification of the Standard Model matter and gauge sectors into a single $E_8$ superfield in ten dimensions via an intermediate Pati-Salam gauge theory. Through a consistent realisation of a…
We propose a unified model for the three Standard Model (SM) gauge symmetries and $SU(3)$ family symmetry based on $SO(16)$ grand unified gauge symmetry on six-dimensional (6D) spacetime. In this model, three chiral generations of quarks…
I show how the isomorphism between the Lie groups of types $B_2$ and $C_2$ leads to a faithful action of the Clifford algebra $\mathcal C\ell(3,2)$ on the phase space of 2-dimensional dynamics, and hence to a mapping from Dirac spinors…
A very specific two-Higgs-doublet extension of the Glashow-Salam-Weinberg model for one generation of quarks is advocated for, in which the two doublets are parity transformed of each other and both isomorphic to the Higgs doublet of the…
A unified theory of four-dimensional gravity together with the standard model is presented, with supersymmetry breaking of M-theory at a TeV. Masses of the the known particles are derived. The cosmological constant is quantum generated to…
We consider the unification of gauge, Higgs as well as the matter fields in a 6D N=2 supersymmetric SU(8) gauge theory. The gauge symmetry SU(8) is broken down to SU(4) x SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R x U(1)^2 in 4D through T^2/Z_6 orbifold…
We clarify and extend our earlier work (K.A.Meissner and H.Nicolai, Phys. Rev. D91 (2015) 065029 and Phys. Rev. Lett. 121 (2018) 091601) where it was shown how to amend a scheme originally proposed by M. Gell-Mann to identify the three…
Let A be a cosemisimple Hopf *-algebra with antipode S and let $\Gamma$ be a left-covariant first order differential *-calculus over A such that $\Gamma$ is self-dual and invariant under the Hopf algebra automorphism S^2. A quantum Clifford…
It shown that if a vector space carries commuting actions of two Clifford algebras, then the quadratic monomials using generators from either Clifford algebra determine a spinor representation of an orthogonal Lie algebra. Examples of this…
A unified field theory of all known basic forces and elementary particles is built based on the postulates of gauge invariance and coordinate independence along with general conformal scaling symmetry. The hyper-spin charge of a unified…
The standard model of particle physics is generalized so as to be furnished with a horizontal symmetry generated by an intermediary algebra between simple Lie algebras $\mathfrak{su}(2)$ and $\mathfrak{su}(3)$. Above a certain high energy…
