These lecture notes explain the classification of some simple fermionic topological phases of matter in a pedestrian manner, with an aim to be maximally pedagogical = doing things in excruciating detail. We focus on a many-body perspective,…
Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT) is a proposal for a theory of quantum gravity, which implements a path-integral quantization of gravity as the continuum limit of a sum over piecewise flat spacetime geometries. We use Monte Carlo…
The possibility of additional quarks and leptons beyond the three generations already established is discussed. The make-up of this Report is (I) Introduction: the motivations for believing that the present litany of elementary fermions is…
We have studied a three-level {\Lambda}-type atomic system with all the energy levels exhibiting decay. The system is described by a pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonian and subject to certain conditions, the Hamiltonian shows parity-time (PT)…
Clifford Unification describes all the observed fundamental fermions in terms of seven commuting elements of the $Cl_{7,7}$ Clifford algebra. The eigenvalues of each commuting element define a binary quantum number, which relates to a…
This paper examines the features of a generalized position-dependent mass Hamiltonian in a supersymmetric framework in which the constraints of pseudo-Hermiticity and CPT are naturally embedded. Different representations of the charge…
Unification based on the group SO(10)^3 \times S_3 is studied. Each family has its own SO(10) group, and the S_3 permutes the three families and SO(10) factors. This is the maximal local symmetry for the known fermions. Family unification…
Open physical systems with balanced loss and gain, described by non-Hermitian parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) reflection symmetric Hamiltonians, exhibit a transition which could engenders modes that exponentially decay or grow with time and…
CPT theorem has been known to imply the equality of mass and lifetime between particle and antiparticle even if C(charge conjugation) symmetry is violated. However, its mathematical verification is insufficient and limited as it considers…
Parity-time ($PT$)-symmetric Hamiltonians exhibit non-unitary dynamical evolution while maintaining real spectra, and offer unique approaches to quantum sensing and entanglement generation. Here we present a method for simulating the…
Fermions with the internal degrees of freedom described in Clifford space carry in any dimension a half integer spin. There are two kinds of spins in Clifford space. The spin-charge-family theory,assuming even d=13+1, uses one kind of spins…
Gapless topological phases of matter may host emergent quasiparticle excitations which have no analog in quantum field theory. This is the case of so called triple point fermions (TPF), quasiparticle excitations protected by crystal…
In the quantum world correlations can take form of entanglement which is known to be monogamous. In this work we show that another type of correlations, indistinguishability, is also restricted by some form of monogamy. Namely, if particles…
Parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetry, originally conceived for non-Hermitian open quantum systems, has opened an excitingly new avenue for the coherent control of light. By tailoring optical gain and loss in integrated photonic structures,…
Known symmetry groups are insufficient to describe the various couplings among spin, charge, and spatial degrees of freedom in fermionic systems. To address this problem, we introduce spin-charge groups (SCGs), which provide a unified…
A possible connection between the existence of three quark-lepton generations and the triality property of SO(8) group (the equality between 8-dimensional vectors and spinors) is investigated.
We investigate the properties of multidimensional parity-time symmetric periodic systems whose non-Hermitian periodicity is an integer multiple of the underlying Hermitian system's periodicity. This creates a natural set of degeneracies…
Charge conjugation (C) and Parity (P) are exact symmetries at theta =pi and Theta = mu/(iT)=pi, where theta is the parameter of the so-called theta-vacuum, mu is the imaginary quark-number chemical potential and T is the temperature.…
Consider a finite triangulation of a surface $M$ of genus $g$ and assume that spin-less fermions populate the edges of the triangulation. The quantum dynamics of such particles takes place inside the algebra of canonical anti-commutation…
