In this paper, we introduce a deterministic approach of quantum mechanics for particles with spin 1 2 moving in one dimension. We present a Lagrangian of a spinning particle ($s ={1 \over 2} $), and deduce the expression of the conjugate…
Maxwell's equations and the equations governing charged particle dynamics are presented for a rotating coordinate system with the global time coordinate of an observer on the rotational axis. Special care is taken in defining the relevant…

This paper aims at studying the spin once again. The departure point is thus the Stern and Gerlach experimental results that can be described in a coherent way in the frame of quantum mechanics only. Instead, the relativistic mechanics…

A manifestly relativistic-invariant Lellouch-L\"uscher formalism for the three-particle decays is proposed. Similarly to ref.[1], the formalism is based on the use of the non-relativistic effective Lagrangians. Manifest Lorentz invariance…
Linear vector waves, both quantum and classical, experience polarization-driven bending of ray trajectories and polarization dynamics that can be interpreted as the precession of the "wave spin". Both phenomena are governed by an effective…
