The interior structure of arbitrary sets of quaternion units is analyzed using general methods of the theory of matrices. It is shown that the units are composed of quadratic combinations of fundamental objects having a dual mathematical…
Causal fermion systems and Riemannian fermion systems are proposed as a framework for describing non-smooth geometries. In particular, this framework provides a setting for spinors on singular spaces. The underlying topological structures…
We consider spinorial fields in polar form to deduce their respective tensorial connection in various physical situations: we show that in some cases the tensorial connection is a useful tool, instead in other cases it arises as a necessary…
The relationship between spinors and Clifford (or geometric) algebra has long been studied, but little consistency may be found between the various approaches. However, when spinors are defined to be elements of the even subalgebra of some…
The theory of spinors is developed for locally anisotropic (la) spaces, in brief la-spaces, which in general are modeled as vector bundles provided with nonlinear and distinguished connections and metric structures (such la-spaces contain…
Representations by means of path integrals are used to find spinor and isospinor structure of relativistic particle propagators in external fields. For Dirac propagator in an external electromagnetic field all grassmannian integrations are…
In the present communication we employ a split programme applied to spinors belonging to the regular and singular sectors of the Lounesto's classification, looking towards to unveil how it can be built or defined upon two spinors…
Spinors are mathematical objects susceptible to the spacetime characteristics upon which they are defined. Not all spacetimes admit spinor structure; when it does, it may have more than one spinor structure, depending on topological…
We investigate the relations between spinors and null vectors in Clifford algebra with particular emphasis on the conditions that a spinor must satisfy to be simple (also: pure). In particular we prove: i) a new property for null vectors:…
Number sequences with wide-ranging applications in mathematics, physics, medicine, and engineering remain an active research topic. This study examines these sequences through the general framework of Horadam numbers and their special cases…
We explore the three separate isomorphisms that link together simple spinors, null vectors and the orthogonal group O(n) and exploit them to look back at these arguments from a unified viewpoint.
Extending the investigations about the theory of duals, we analyze duals built up with the aid of discrete symmetry operators. We scrutinize algebraic and physical constraints (encompassing them in a theoretical scope) in order to verify…
We study spin structures on orbifolds. In particular, we show that if the singular set has codimension greater than 2, an orbifold is spin if and only if its smooth part is. On compact orbifolds, we show that any non-trivial twistor spinor…
We consider the wave equation for spinors in ${\cal D}$-dimensional Weyl geometry. By appropriately coupling the Weyl vector $\phi _{\mu}$ as well as the spin connection $\omega _{\mu a b } $ to the spinor field, conformal invariance can be…
We propose and develop a new method to classify orbits of the spin group ${\rm Spin}(2d)$ in the space of its semi-spinors. The idea is to consider spinors as being built as a linear combination of their pure constituents, imposing the…
The closed homogeneous and isotropic universe is considered. The bundles of Weyl and Dirac spinors for this universe are explicitly described. Some explicit formulas for the basic fields and for the connection components in stereographic…
The integral variation map and algebraic monodromy of isolated plane curve singularities are important homological invariants of the singularity which are still far from being completely understood. This work provides effective ways of…
A pragmatic approach to constructing a covariant phenomenology of the interactions of composite, high-spin hadrons is proposed. Because there are no known wave equations without significant problems, we propose to construct the…
We use classical (Penrose) two-component spinors to set up the differential geometry of two parabolic contact structures in five dimensions, namely $G_2$ contact geometry and Legendrean contact geometry. The key players in these two…
The concept of pure spinor is generalized, giving rise to the notion of pure subspaces, spinorial subspaces associated to isotropic vector subspaces of non-maximal dimension. Several algebraic identities concerning the pure subspaces are…
