We prove that an isometric immersion of a timelike surface in four-dimensional Minkowski space is equivalent to a normalized spinor field which is a solution of a Dirac equation on the surface. Using the quaternions and the complex numbers,…

The approach of metric-affine field theory is to define spacetime as a real oriented 4-manifold equipped with a metric and an affine connection. The 10 independent components of the metric tensor and the 64 connection coefficients are the…

Penrose's Spin Geometry Theorem is extended further, from $SU(2)$ and $E(3)$ (Euclidean) to $E(1,3)$ (Poincar\'e) invariant elementary quantum mechanical systems. The Lorentzian spatial distance between any two non-parallel timelike…

In this paper it is reconciled how the metric in Minkowskian space-time gets transformed from one coordinates system to another after successive Lorentz transformations. And likewise this idea is generalized to achieve metric transformation…

We show a nice symmetric/antisymmetric relation between the four vector Lorentz transformation and the Dirac spinor one in the Majorana representation. From the spinor one, we exhibit the antisymmetric pending of the symmetric Minkowski…

Within the scope of a static cylindrically symmetric space-time we study the behavior of a nonlinear spinor field that depends on time and radial coordinates. It is found that the presence of nontrivial non-diagonal components of the…

We study the motion of a spin 1/2 particle in a scalar as well as a magnetic field within the framework of supersymmetric quantum mechanics(SUSYQM). We also introduce the concept of shape invariant scalar and magnetic fields and it is shown…

The search for the gravitational energy-momentum tensor is often qualified as an attempt of looking for ``the right answer to the wrong question''. This position does not seem convincing to us. We think that we have found the right answer…

We show that, in the framework of Deformed Special Relativity (DSR), namely a (four-dimensional) generalization of the (local) space-time struc- ture based on an energy-dependent "deformation" of the usual Minkowski geometry, two kinds of…
