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…
This is a short review of the algebraic properties of Clifford algebras and spinors. Their use in the description of fundamental physics (elementary particles) is also summarized. Lecture given at the ICCA7 conference, Toulouse (23/05/2005)
We start from a new theory (discussed earlier) in which the arena for physics is not spacetime, but its straightforward extension-the so called Clifford space ($C$-space), a manifold of points, lines, areas, etc..; physical quantities are…
We consider an Einstein-Dirac-Maxwell system with two charged massless spinors coupled with an electromagnetic field, and construct a family of exact solutions to the system. The solution spacetime is an anisotropic generalization of the…
The geometric calculus based on Clifford algebra is a very useful tool for geometry and physics. It describes a geometric structure which is much richer than the ordinary geometry of spacetime. A Clifford manifold ($C$-space) consists not…
The three first sections contain an updated, not-so-short account of a partly original approach to spinor geometry and field theories introduced by Jadczyk and myself; it is based on an intrisic treatment of 2-spinor geometry in which the…
A study of an algorithm method capable to reveal anisotropic solutions of general scalar-tensor gravitation -including non-minimally couplings- is presented. It is found that it is possible to classify the behavior of the field of different…
We generalize the geometry of Santilli's locally anisotropic and inhomogeneous isospaces to the geometry of vector isobundles provided with nonlinear and distinguished isoconnections and isometric structures. We present, apparently for the…
A particular Finsler-metric proposed in [1,2] and describing a geometry with a preferred null direction is characterized here as belonging to a subclass contained in a larger class of Finsler-metrics with one or more preferred directions…
A theory in which points, lines, areas and volumes are on on the same footing is investigated. All those geometric objects form a 16-dimensional manifold, called C-space, which generalizes spacetime. In such higher dimensional space…
The inertial and gravitational properties of intrinsic spin are discussed and some of the recent work in this area is briefly reviewed. The extension of relativistic wave equations to accelerated systems and gravitational fields is…
Characterizing the anisotropic structure in noncollinear antiferromagnets is essential for antiferromagnetic spintronics. In this work, we provide a microscopic theory linking the anisotropy effects induced by the rigid-body rotation of…
Geometric structure of spherically-symmetric space-time in metric-affine gauge theory of gravity is studied. Restrictions on curvature tensor and Bianchi identities are obtained. By using certain simple gravitational Lagrangian the solution…
At first we introduce the space-time manifold and we compare some aspects of Riemannian and Lorentzian geometry such as the distance function and the relations between topology and curvature. We then define spinor structures in general…
Gravity is wonderful. The main goal of this thesis is to explore and discuss two aspects of gravity -- two wonders, which illustrate the richness of the theoretical gravitational landscape: braneworlds and holography. Each one of these…
In several classes of modified gravity theories, extra degrees of freedom are not completely screened in the interiors of stellar and substellar objects. In such theories, the hydrostatic equilibrium condition inside these objects is…
A review of some facts concerning classical spacetime geometry is presented together with a description of the most elementary aspects of the two-component spinor formalisms of Infeld and van der Waerden. Special attention is concentrated…
The paper contributes to the important and urgent problem to extend the physical theory of space-time in a Finsler-type way under the assumption that the isotropy of space is violated by a single geometrically distinguished spatial…
The first free comprehensive textbook on quantum (and classical) field theory. The approach is pragmatic, rather than traditional or artistic: It includes practical techniques, such as the 1/N expansion (color ordering) and spacecone…
This thesis consists of two parts, connected by one central theme: the dynamics of the "shape of space". The first part of the thesis concerns the construction of a theory of gravity dynamically equivalent to general relativity (GR) in 3+1…
