Contemporary presentation of the version 1 demonstrates briefly the development of our investigations and our future goals. The improved free of difficulties in interpretation and printing errors version is presented. The 256-dimensional…
In this article we present a new and not fully employed geometric algebra model. With this model a generalization of the conformal model is achieved. We discuss the geometric objects that can be represented. Furthermore, we show that the…
One key theme of Basil Hiley's work was the development of David Bohm's approach to Quantum Mechanics; in particular the concept of the quantum potential. Another theme was the importance of Clifford Algebras in fundamental physics. In this…
The Dirac equation may be thought as originating from a theory of five-dimensional (5D) space-time. We define a special 5D Clifford algebra and introduce a spin-1/2 constraint equation to describe null propagation in a 5D space-time…
Despite its tremendous success, the Standard Model of particle physics does not explain why the weak interaction breaks chiral symmetry. Various unified theories got us closer to an answer, but too often the explanation consists of labeling…

The Dirac equation for an electron in two spatial dimensions in the Coulomb and homogeneous magnetic fields is discussed. For weak magnetic fields, the approximate energy values are obtained by semiclassical method. In the case with strong…
The linearization of a quadratic form gives rise to a Clifford algebra structure, as seen in Dirac's factorization of the d'Alembert operator. A similar structure known as a generalized Clifford algebra arises from the continuation of this…
The recent literature shows a renewed interest, with various independent approaches, in the classical models for spin. Considering the possible interest of those results, at least for the electron case, we purpose in this paper to explore…
The theory of representations of Clifford algebras is extended to employ the division algebra of the octonions or Cayley numbers. In particular, questions that arise from the non-associativity and non-commutativity of this division algebra…
The relativistic corrections for the Dirac-Coulomb system are derived through the method of non-relativistic expansion. By expanding the large and small components of the Dirac wave function and the energy eigenvalues in terms of the square…
In this work we analyze the low energy nonrelativistic limit of Dirac theory in the framework of effective field theory. By integrating out the high energy modes of Dirac field, given in terms of a combination of the two-components Weyl…
We derive a set of Clifford-algebraic formulas for two major nonlinear conformal transformations of the physical quantities related to Maxwell's equations. The superiority of these formulas over their vector-tensorial counterparts are…
We prove that the alternative Clifford algebra of a nondegenerate ternary quadratic form is an octonion algebra over the ring of polynomials in one variable over the field of definition.
We study the Dirac equation in 3+1 dimensions with non-minimal coupling to isotropic radial three-vector potential and in the presence of static electromagnetic potential. The space component of the electromagnetic potential has angular…
We re-examine the non Hermitian position coordinate of Dirac's equation, in the light of his own insights and conclude that this, and the Dirac equation itself is symptomatic of an underlying Noncommutative Geometry.
In this largely expository paper we give a self-contained treatment of the Dirac operator. Emphasizing the algebraic point of view we first sketch the necessary prerequisites from Clifford algebras and their representations and then define…
We study the algebraic structure of the one-dimensional Dirac oscillator by extending the concept of spin symmetry to a noncommutative case. An SO(4) algebra is found connecting the eigenstates of the Dirac oscillator, in which the two…
We construct nonlinear extensions of Dirac's relativistic electron equation that preserve its other desirable properties such as locality, separability, conservation of probability and Poincar\'e invariance. We determine the constraints…
We study the three-dimensional Dirac and Klein-Gordon equations with scalar and vector potentials of equal magnitudes as an attempt to give a proper physical interpretation of this class of problems which has recently been accumulating…
