In this paper we consider the problem of the occurrence of spurious modes when computing the eigenvalues of Dirac operators, with the motivation to describe relativistic electrons in an atom or a molecule. We present recent mathematical…
Earlier we have shown that interacting electron-positron and electromagnetic fields can be considered as a certain microscopic distortion of pseudo-Euclidean properties of the Minkovsky 4-space-time. The known Dirac and Maxwell equations…
We review some of the phenomenology in 4D dynamical triangulation and explore its interpretation in terms of a euclidean effective action of the continuum form $\intx \sqrt{g} [\mu -\frac{1}{16\pi G} R + \cdots]$.
A variational principle is applied to 4D Euclidean space provided with a tensor refractive index, defining what can be seen as 4-dimensional optics (4DO). The geometry of such space is analysed, making no physical assumptions of any kind.…

We give a min-max characterization of the weighted Dirac eigenvalues, and show that the weighted eigenvalues and eigenspaces of Dirac operators are continuous with respect to weak $L^p$ convergence of the inverse weight, for any $p>n$.…

A short introduction to N = 1 supergravity in four dimensions in the superspace approach is given emphasising on all steps to obtain the final Lagrangian. In particular starting from geometrical principles and the introduction of…
We describe generalizations of the manifestly E_{6(6)} covariant formulation of five-dimensional gauged maximal supergravity with regard to the structure of the vector and tensor fields. We indicate how the group-theoretical structures that…
We compute the modifications to the attractor mechanism due to fermionic corrections. In N=2, D=4 supergravity, at the fourth order, we find a new contribution to the horizon values of the scalar fields of the vector multiplets.
A formulation of abelian and non-abelian chiral gauge theories is presented together with arguments for the unitarity and renormalisability in four dimensions. IASSNS-HEP-94/70, UM-P-94/96, and RCHEP-94/26.
Gravity is treated as manifestation of bending of 4D plate at the variational functionals level. Some estimates of elastic constants of space-time are made. Field lagrangians and Einstein equations are discussed in view point of the…
In this paper, we get estimates on the higher eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on locally reducible Riemannian manifolds, in terms of the eigenvalues of the Laplace-Beltrami operator and the scalar curvature. These estimates are sharp, in…
We show that the first-order D=4, N=1 pure supergravity lagrangian four-form can be obtained geometrically as a quadratic expression in the curvatures of the Maxwell superalgebra. This is achieved by noticing that the relative coefficient…
A strong consequence of quadratic forms becoming hyperbolic over the function field of a form is established. This result is invoked to obtain a new characterisation of hyperbolicity over function fields, and to recover a number of…
