A unifying overview of the ways to parameterize the linear group GL(4.C) and its subgroups is given. As parameters for this group there are taken 16 coefficients G = G(A,B,A_{k}, B_{k}, F_{kl}) in resolving matrix G in terms of 16 basic…
Parametrization of complex 4 x 4 - matrices G in terms of Dirac tensor parameters (A,B,A_{l},B_{l},F_{kl}) or equivalent four complex 4-vectors (k,m,n,l) is investigated. In the given parametrization, the problem of inverting any 4 x 4…
The goal of this paper is to develop a systematic method of locating the Mueller matrices within the class of the matrices of the real group SL(4, R). The main idea is to construct the general transformation of the group SL(4, R) (whose…

Metric-affine gravity (GL(4) gauge theory) in 4-dimensions is coupled to a spacetime Dirac source field using the isomorphisms of the Lie algebra gl(4) to the Clifford algebras Cl(3,1) and Cl(2,2). A simple transformation relates the…
In the context of applying the Lorentz group theory to polarization optics in the frames of Stokes-Mueller formalism, some properties of the Lorentz group are investigated. We start with the factorized form of arbitrary Lorentz matrix as a…
Consider a formally self-adjoint first order linear differential operator acting on pairs (2-columns) of complex-valued scalar fields over a 4-manifold without boundary. We examine the geometric content of such an operator and show that it…
In a recent publication the I showed how the geometric algebra ${G}_{4,1}$, the algebra of 5-dimensional space-time, can generate relativistic dynamics from the simple principle that only null geodesics should be allowed. The same paper…
A generic-curved spacetime Dirac-like equation in 3D is constructed. It has, owing to the $\bar{SL}(n,R)$ group deunitarizing automorphism, a physically correct unitarity and flat spacetime particle properties. The construction is achieved…
Given a second-order, holomorphic, linear differential equation $Lf=0$ on a punctured Riemann surface, we say that its monodromy group $G\subset\operatorname{GL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ is `unitary' if it preserves a non-degenerate Hermitian form…
There are two sets of four-by-four matrices introduced by Dirac. The first set consists of fifteen Majorana matrices derivable from his four $\gamma$ matrices. These fifteen matrices can also serve as the generators of the group $SL(4,r)$.…
In this article we extend our previous results for the orthogonal group, $SO(2,4)$, to its homomorphic group $SU(2,2)$. Here we present a closed, finite formula for the exponential of a $4\times 4$ traceless matrix, which can be viewed as…
Transformation properties of Dirac equation correspond to Spin(3,1) representation of Lorentz group SO(3,1), but group GL(4,R) of general relativity does not accept a similar construction with Dirac spinors. On the other hand, it is…
Over a field K of characteristic 0, we study the algebra of invariants of the general linear group GL(4,K) acting by simultaneous conjugation on two matrices of order 4. It coincides with the trace algebra generated by all traces of…
The unitary dual of $GL(n, \mathbb{R})$ was classified by Vogan in the 1980s. Focusing on the irreducible unitary representations of $GL(n, \mathbb{R})$ with half-integral infinitesimal characters, we find that Speh representations and the…
Using the standard representation of the Dirac equation we show that, up to signs, there exist only TWO SETS of consistent solutions for the matrices of charge conjugation (C), parity (P), and time reversal (T). In both cases, P^2=-1, and…
