At first, we consider the path integral method for the covariant symmetry breaking in gravity. We replace the scalar fields, instead of the degrees of freedom which have been removed by gauge fixing constraints. Finally the specific ghost…
We formulate the Dirac oscillator covariantly in the presence of external non-Abelian gauge fields. More precisely, the matter field is written as $\Psi_{\alpha A}(x)$, where $\alpha$ denotes the Dirac index and $A$ the isospin index, so…
