In these lectures the relations between symmetries, Lie algebras, Killing vectors and Noether's theorem are reviewed. A generalisation of the basic ideas to include velocity-dependend co-ordinate transformations naturally leads to the…
From the principle of relativity with two universal invariant parameters $c$ and $l$, 24 possible kinematical (including geometrical and static) algebras can be obtained. Each algebra is of 10 dimensional, generating the symmetry of a 4…
We develop a geometric version of the inverse problem of the calculus of variations for discrete mechanics and constrained discrete mechanics. The geometric approach consists of using suitable Lagrangian and isotropic submanifolds. We also…
Space-time multivectors in Clifford algebra (space-time algebra) and their application to nonlinear electrodynamics are considered. Functional product and infinitesimal operators for translation and rotation groups are introduced, where…
We describe the deformed Poincare-conformal symmetries implying the covariance of the noncommutative space obeying Snyder's algebra. Relativistic particle models invariant under these deformed symmetries are presented. A gauge…
In this paper we present some results obtained in a previous paper about the Cartan's approach to Riemannian normal coordinates and our conformal transformations among pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. We also review the classical and the…
In order to realize supersymmetric quantum mechanics methods on a four dimensional classical phase-space, the complexified Clifford algebra of this space is extended by deforming it with the Moyal star-product in composing the components of…
The author discusses particular solutions of a second order equation designated by source equation. This equation is special because the metric of the space where it is written is influenced by the solution, rendering the equation…
We further explore the idea that physics takes place in Clifford space which should be considered as a generalization of spacetime. Following the old observation that spinors can be represented as members of left ideals of Clifford algebra,…
Generalized symmetries and supersymmetries depending on derivatives of dynamic variables are treated in a most general setting. Studding cohomology of the variational bicomplex, we state the first variational formula and conservation laws…
We consider a classical spinning particle in the frame of the relativistic physics by means of a covariant Hamiltonian and of a generalization of Poisson brackets which take into account the gauge fields. We obtain different equations of…
We deform the standard four dimensional $\N=1$ superspace by making the odd coordinates $\theta$ not anticommuting, but satisfying a Clifford algebra. Consistency determines the other commutation relations of the coordinates. In particular,…
A theoretical scheme, based on a probabilistic generalization of the Hamilton's principle, is elaborated to obtain an unified description of more general dynamical behaviors determined both from a lagrangian function and by mechanisms not…
A four dimensional non-trivial extension of the Poincar\'e algebra different from supersymmetry is explicitly studied. Representation theory is investigated and an invariant Lagrangian is exhibited. Some discussion on the Noether theorem is…
The power of Clifford or, geometric, algebra lies in its ability to represent geometric operations in a concise and elegant manner. Clifford algebras provide the natural generalizations of complex, dual numbers and quaternions into…
We study algebraic varieties that encode the kinematic data for $n$ massless particles in $d$-dimensional spacetime subject to momentum conservation. Their coordinates are spinor brackets, which we derive from the Clifford algebra…
In the context of two illustrative examples from supersymmetric quantum mechanics we show that the semi-classical analysis of the path integral requires complexification of the configuration space and action, and the inclusion of complex…
It is pointed out that if we allow for the possibility of a multilayered universe, it is possible to maintain exact supersymmetry and arrange, in principle, for the vanishing of the cosmological constant. Superpartner(s) of a known particle…
These notes were delivered as a series of NIMROD lectures at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory by the author in February 1976 (RL-76-022). The purpose of these lectures was primarily two-fold: to discuss the classical theory of free point…
We demonstrate the emergence of the conformal group SO(4,2) from the Clifford algebra of spacetime. The latter algebra is a manifold, called Clifford space, which is assumed to be the arena in which physics takes place. A Clifford space…
