We use the idea of the symmetry between the spacetime coordinates x^\mu and the energy-momentum p^\mu in quantum theory to construct a momentum space quantum gravity geometry with a metric s_{\mu\nu} and a curvature P^\lambda_{\mu\nu\rho}.…
Closed-form, normalizable solutions of Dirac's equation propagating within a semi-infinite cylindrical waveguide are obtained in terms of ordinary and modified Bessel functions. These relativistic wave packets induce quantum backflow on a…

Fully covariant wave equations predict the existence of a class of inertial-gravitational effects that can be tested experimentally. In these equations inertia and gravity appear as external classical fields, but, by conforming to general…
The relativistic free particle system in 1+1 dimensions is formulated as a ``bi-Hamiltonian system''. One Hamiltonian generates ordinary time translations, and another generates (essentially) boosts. Any observer, accelerated or not, sees…
We revise the problem of the quantization of relativistic particle models (spinless and spinning), presenting a modified consistent canonical scheme. One of the main point of the modification is related to a principally new realization of…
We construct a relativistic quantum mechanics for a boson. To do this we exploit two component wave functions in Dirac type equations of motion. In our formalism we fix the pathological aspect of particle probability density which appears…
In the semiclassical quantum gravity derived from the Wheeler-DeWitt equation, the energy density of a matter field loses quantum coherence due to the induced gauge potential from the parametric interaction with gravity in a non-static…
Recent developments in holographic gravity suggest that spacetime structure may be deeply related to quantum mechanics. In this work, from a different perspective, we demonstrate that wave-particle duality can be interpreted as the…
We consider pure three-dimensional quantum gravity with a negative cosmological constant. The sum of known contributions to the partition function from classical geometries can be computed exactly, including quantum corrections. However,…
EPR experiment on $K^0-\bar{K}^0$ system in 1998\cite{1} strongly hints that one should use operators $\hat{E}_c=-i\hbar\frac{\partial}{\partial t}$ and $\hat{\bf p}_c=i\hbar\nabla$ for the wavefunction (WF) of antiparticle. Further…
In a recent paper [1], it has been proposed that relativistic wave-particle duality can be embodied in a relation that shows that the four-velocity of a particle is proportional to the Dirac four-current. In this note we bring out some…
In \cite{2} it was shown that Einstein's special theory of relativity and Maxwell's field theory have mathematically equivalent dual versions. The dual versions arise from an identity relating observer time to proper time as a contact…
After analyzing the implication of investigations on the C, P and T transformations since 1956, we propose that there is a basic symmetry in particle physics. The combined space-time inversion is equivalent to particle-antiparticle…
A classical dynamical system in a four-dimensional Euclidean space with universal time is considered. The space is hypothesized to be originally occupied by a uniform substance, pictured as a liquid, which at some time became supercooled.…
A Lorentz-covariant system of wave equations is formulated for a quantum-mechanical three-body system in one space dimension, comprised of one photon and two identical massive spin one-half Dirac particles, which can be thought of as two…
In a natural extension of the relativity principle we argue that a quantum theory of gravity involves two fundamental scales associated with both dynamical space-time as well as dynamical momentum space. This view of quantum gravity is…
We prove that semiclassical gravity in conformally static, globally hyperbolic spacetimes with a massless, conformally coupled Klein-Gordon field is well posed, when viewed as a coupled theory for the dynamical conformal factor of the…
This study investigates the compatibility of the electroweak sector of particle physics with quantum gravity, under the assumption that the conventional S-matrix positivity bounds can be extended to gravitational context. It focuses on…
In relativistic quantum theory, one sometimes considers integral equations for a wave function $\psi(x_1,x_2)$ depending on two space-time points for two particles. A serious issue with such equations is that, typically, the spatial…
