The theory of Non-Relativistic Quantum Mechanics was created (or discovered) back in the 1920's mainly by Schr\"odinger and Heisenberg, but it is fair enough to say that a more modern and unified approach to the subject was introduced by…
The Cosserat equations for equilibrium are derived by starting from the action of the group of smooth functions with values in the Lie group of rigid spatial motions on rigid frames in Euclidian space. The method of virtual work is…
In this article, we present an innovative method to find particular solutions of the non-homogeneous Cauchy-Euler equations in several variables and Sturm-Liouville equations. The method is basically built on the application of the…
This thesis is devoted to the study of hyperbolic differential operators on globally hyperbolic manifolds, linear gauge theories and their quantisation. In the first part, we treat the Cauchy problem for symmetric hyperbolic systems and…
Few recent generations of cosmologists have solved non-local newtonian equations of the gravitational instability in an expanding universe. In this approach pancaking is the predominant form of first collapsing objects. Relativistic…
We explore some general consequences of a proper, full enforcement of the "twisted Poincare'" covariance of Chaichian et al. [14], Wess [50], Koch et al. [34], Oeckl [41] upon many-particle quantum mechanics and field quantization on a…
Descent equations play an important role in the theory of characteristic classes and find applications in theoretical physics, e.g. in the Chern-Simons field theory and in the theory of anomalies. The second Chern class (the first…

In 1918 Weyl introduced Weyl conformal geometry and its associated quadratic action which was the first gauge theory, of a spacetime symmetry, the Weyl gauge theory (of dilatations and Poincar\'e symmetry). The initial physical…
A standard model is formulated in a Weyl space, $W_4$, yielding a Weyl covariant dynamics of massless chiral Dirac fermion fields for leptons and quarks as well as the gauge fields involved for the groups D(1)\,(Weyl), $U(1)_Y{\times}…
We develop a variationally consistent mesoscopic extension of Cosserat elasticity motivated by the breakdown of compatibility in classical formulations. By admitting compatibility-breaking perturbations, the classical theory ceases to…
A steady state plane problem of an inhomogeneous half-plane subjected to a load running along the boundary at subsonic speed is analyzed. The Lame coefficients and the density of the half-plane are assumed to be power functions of depth.…
Exact equations describing flexoelectric deformation in solids, derived previously within the framework of a continuum media theory, are partial differential equations of the fourth order. They are too complex to be used in the cases…
For first-order quasi-linear systems of partial differential equations, we formulate an assumption of a transition from initial hyperbolicity to ellipticity. This assumption bears on the principal symbol of the first-order operator. Under…
Both orbital and rotational dynamics employ the method of variation of parameters. We express, in a non-perturbed setting, the coordinates (Cartesian, in the orbital case, or Eulerian in the rotation case) via the time and six adjustable…
The symmetries and dynamics of simple chiral $SU(N)$ gauge theories, with matter Weyl fermions in a two-index symmetric tensor and $N+4$ anti-fundamental representations, are examined, by taking advantage of the recent developments…
In the first part of the paper we prove various results on regularity of Feynman-Kac functionals of Hunt processes associated with time dependent semi-Dirichlet forms. In the second part we study the Cauchy problem for semilinear parabolic…
The equations of motion of four-dimensional conformal gravity, whose Lagrangian is the square of the Weyl tensor, require that the Bach tensor $E_{\mu\nu}= (\nabla^\rho\nabla^\sigma + \ft12 R^{\rho\sigma})C_{\mu\rho\nu\sigma}$ vanishes.…
We investigate the perihelion shift of planetary motion in conformal Weyl gravity using the metric of the static, spherically symmetric solution discovered by Mannheim \& Kazanas (1989). To this end we employ a procedure similar to that…
