As it follows from the classical analysis of the data, the paper is intended to solve one of the main problems in the physics of tachyons, they are having imaginary mass. Further we use quantum mechanics to deal with the matters concerning…
A minus sign is inserted, for good reason, into the formula for the Energy-Momentum Tensor for tachyons. This leads to remarkable theoretical consequences and a plausible explanation for the phenomenon called Dark Energy in the cosmos.
A cornerstone of physics, Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism, apparently contains a fatal flaw. The standard expressions for the electromagnetic field energy and self-mass of an electron of finite extension do not obey Einstein's famous…
We construct momentum space expansions for the wave functions that solve the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations for tachyons, recognizing that the mass shell for such fields is very different from what we are used to for ordinary (slower than…
Working strictly within the physics theories of Special and General Relativity, I have produced a series of studies developing a consistent mathematical description of tachyons, using both classical and quantum frameworks for particles and…

The momentum space associated with "tachyonic particles" proves to be rather intricate, departing very much from the ordinary dual to Minkowski space directly parametrized by space-time translations of the Poincar\'e group. In fact,…
Recent attempts to explain the dark matter and energy content of the universe have involved some radical extensions of standard physics, including quintessence, phantom energy, additional space dimensions and variations in the speed of…
We consider the motion of tachyons (faster-than-light particles) in the framework of General Relativity. An important feature is the large contribution of low energy tachyons to the energy-momentum tensor. We also calculate the…
We review and extend the computation of scattering amplitudes of tachyons in the $c=1$ matrix model using a manifestly finite prescription for the collective field hamiltonian. We give further arguments for the exactness of the cubic…
The expressions of momentum and energy of a particle in special relativity are often derived in a quite unconvincing manner in elementary text, by resorting either to electrodynamic or quantum considerations, or via the introduction of the…
The theoretical foundation of the object moving faster than light in vacuum ({\it tachyon}) is still missing or incomplete. Here we present the classical foundation of the relativistic dynamics including the tachyon. An anomalous…
It is suggested that charged tachyons of extremely large mass M could not only contribute to the dark matter needed to fit astrophysical observations, but could also provide an explanation for gamma ray bursts and ultra high energy cosmic…
It is shown using numerical simulation that classical charged tachyons have several features normally thought to be unique to quantum mechanics. Spin-like self-orbiting helical motions are shown to exist at discrete values for the velocity…

Recently tachyonic field has been depicted as dark energy model to represent the present acceleration of the Universe. In this paper we have considered mixture of tachyonic fluid with a perfect fluid. For this purpose we have considered…
Following earlier studies that provided a consistent theory of kinematics for tachyons (faster-than-light particles) we here embark on a study of tachyon dynamics, both in classical physics and in the quantum theory. Examining a general…
We consider an ideal Fermi gas of tachyons and derive a low temperature expansion of its thermodynamical functions. The tachyonic specific heat is linear dependent on temperature $C_V=\epsilon_Fk_FT$ and formally coincides with the specific…
This article proves that elementary particles can violate the second postulate of the Special Theory of Relativity. According to Heisenberg's principle, superluminal particles are allowed in the theoretical framework of Quantum Mechanics.…
We propose a field theory for describing the tachyon on a brane-antibrane system near the minimum of the potential. This field theory realizes two known properties of the tachyon effective action: 1) absence of plane-wave solutions around…
