We perform a canonical quantization of gravity in a second-order formulation, taking as configuration variables those describing a 4-bein, not adapted to the space-time splitting. We outline how, neither if we fix the Lorentz frame before…
The present study explores the behavior of quaternionic four-space algebra for subluminal and superluminal spaces. We formulate the generalized Lorentz transformations for quaternionic subluminal, superluminal, and their combined Minkowski…
Recently, relative Rota-Baxter (Lie/associative) algebras are extensively studied in the literature from cohomological points of view. In this paper, we consider relative Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebras (rRB Leibniz algebras) as the object of…
A result from particle tracking states that, after a microbunched electron beam is kicked, its trajectory changes while the orientation of the microbunching wavefront remains as before. Experiments at the LCLS showed that radiation in the…
In our joint papers [FL1-FL2] we revive quaternionic analysis and show deep relations between quaternionic analysis, representation theory and four-dimensional physics. As a guiding principle we use representation theory of various real…
The special relativistic dynamical equation of the Lorentz force type can be regarded as a consequence of a succession of space-time dependent infinitesimal Lorentz transformations as shown by one of us \cite{buitrago} and discussed in the…
In flat spacetime, as a simple 4-vector, a particle's 4-velocity cannot be changed by translation. Parallel translation then produces constant velocity, motion without force. Here we consider a richer, but less well-known, representation of…
It is shown that a general model for particle detection in combination with a linear application of the Wigner rotations, which correspond to momentum-dependent changes of the particle spin under Lorentz transformations, to the state of a…
We analyze a special separable and chiral-symmetric model with a quantized quadrupole moment, extending the Benalcazar-Bernevig-Hughes model [Science 357, 61 (2017)]. Using nested-Wilson loop formalism, we give an exact expression for…
We give a combinatorial description of the Legendrian contact homology algebra associated to a Legendrian link in $S^1\times S^2$ or any connected sum $\#^k(S^1\times S^2)$, viewed as the contact boundary of the Weinstein manifold obtained…
Lorentzian 4-metrics are expressed in spinorial coordinates. In these coordinates the metric components can be factorized into a product of complex conjugate quantities. The linearized theory and Einstein's vacuum field equations are…
The purpose of this paper is to provide an elementary introduction to the qualitative and quantitative results of velocity combination in special relativity, including the Wigner rotation and Thomas precession. We utilize only the most…
This work focuses on non-compact groups and their applications to quantum gravity, mainly through the use of tensor operators. First, the mathematical theory of tensor operators for a Lie group is recast in a new way which is used to…
Due to the existence of incompatible observables, the propositional calculus of a quantum system does not form a Boolean algebra but an orthomodular lattice. Such lattice can be realised as a lattice of subspaces on a real, complex or…
A relativistic quantum mechanics is formulated in which all of the interactions are in the four-momentum operator and Lorentz transformations are kinematic. Interactions are introduced through vertices, which are bilinear in fermion and…
Gravitational coupling of the propagation four-vectors of matter wave functions is formulated in flat space-time. Coupling at the momentum level rather than at the "force-law" level greatly simplifies many calculations. This locally…
It is known that quaternions represent rotations in 3D Euclidean and Minkowski spaces. However, product by a quaternion gives rotation in two independent planes at once and to obtain single-plane rotations one has to apply by half-angle…
An alternative (simplified) derivation of the dispersion relation and the expressions for the momentum-energy 4-vector $p_i,p_0$ given initially in [1] is provided. It has turned out that in a rather "pedestrian" manner one can obtain in…
We compute, for massive particles, the explicit Wigner rotations of one-particle states for arbitrary Lorentz transformations; and the explicit Hermitian generators of the infinite-dimensional unitary representation. For a pair of spin 1/2…
The formula for the relativistic Doppler effect is investigated in the context of two compelling invariance axioms. The axioms are expressed in terms of an abstract operation generalizing the relativistic addition of velocities. We prove…
