The massless field of spin 1 is defined on the eight-dimensional configuration space; this space is a direct product of Minkowski space and of a two-dimensional complex sphere. Field equations for the spin-one field are derived from a…
A dichotomy for expansions of the real field is established: Either the set of integers is definable or every nonempty bounded nowhere dense definable subset of the real numbers has Minkowski dimension zero.
We examine the hypothesis that space-time is a product of a continuous four-dimensional manifold times a finite space. A new tensorial notation is developed to present the various constructs of noncommutative geometry. In particular, this…
The usual formulations of quantum field theory in Minkowski spacetime make crucial use of Poincare symmetry, positivity of total energy, and the existence of a unique, Poincare invariant vacuum state. These and other key features of quantum…

A Symmetry between bosonic coordinates and some Grassmannian-type coordinates is presented. Commuting two of these Grassmannian-type variables results in an arbitrary phase (not just a minus sign). This symmetry is also realised at the…
Metric independent $\sigma$ models are constructed. These are field theories which generalise the membrane idea to situations where the target space has fewer dimensions than the base manifold. Instead of reparametrisation invariance of the…
