Almost all theories of physics have expressed physical laws by means of differential equations. One can ask: why differential equations? What is special about them? This article addresses these questions and is presented as an inquiry-based…
We speculate on the role of relativistic versions of delayed differential equations in fundamental physics. Relativistic invariance implies that we must consider both advanced and retarded terms in the equations, so we refer to them as…
Studying the behaviour of a quantum field in a classical, curved, spacetime is an extraordinary task which nobody is able to take on at present time. Independently by the fact that such problem is not likely to be solved soon, still we…
We investigate using plane fronted gravitational wave space-times as model systems to study loop quantization techniques and dispersion relations. In this classical analysis, we start with planar symmetric space-times in the real connection…
There are many complementary approaches to the construction of solutions to the field equations of general relativity. Among these, numerical approximation offers the only possibility to compute a variety of dynamical spacetimes, and so has…
We set up the Dirac equation in a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker geometry and separate the spatial and time variables. In the case of a closed universe, the spatial dependence is solved explicitly, giving rise to a discrete set of solutions. We…
Using the differential calculus on discrete group, we study the general relativity in the space-time which is the product of a four dimensional manifold by a two-point space. We generalize the usual concept of frame and connection in our…

We perform a one-dimensional complexified quaternionic version of the Dirac equation based on $i$-complex geometry. The problem of the missing complex parameters in Quaternionic Quantum Mechanics with $i$-complex geometry is overcome by a…

The purpose of this paper is to investigate several issues concerning the Dirac equation from a time-frequency analysis perspective. More precisely, we provide estimates in weighted modulation and Wiener amalgam spaces for the solutions of…
In this paper a mathematically precise global (i.e. not the usual local) approach is presented to the variational principles of general relativistic classical field theories. Problems of the classic (usual) approaches are also discussed in…
The eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on a curved spacetime are diffeomorphism-invariant functions of the geometry. They form an infinite set of ``observables'' for general relativity. Recent work of Chamseddine and Connes suggests that…
Thermal field theory is an essential tool for comprehending various physical phenomena, including astrophysical objects such as neutron stars and white dwarfs, as well as the early stages of the universe. Nonetheless, the traditional…
The Doplicher, Fredenhagen and Roberts (DFR) noncommutative (NC) formalism is propose in a curved space-time. In DFR approach, the NC parameter is promoted to the set of coordinates of the space-time. As consequence, the field theory…

Invariant Lagrangians yield invariant Euler-Lagrange equations, and it was discussed in the literature how to compute those using various local methods. The focus of this paper is on global algebraic differential invariants. In this case…
We consider deformed special relativity (DSR) theories on commutative space-time, perhaps as an first approximation to a noncommutative space-time formulation. The corresponding field theories in general possess derivatives of all orders.…
