The Poincar\'e sector of a recently deformed conformal algebra is proposed to describe, after the identification of the deformation parameter with the Planck length, the symmetries of a new relativistic theory with two observer-independent…
Time dilation $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-v^2}}$ and relative velocity $v$ are observationally indistinguishable in the special theory of relativity, a duality that carries over into the general theory under Fermi coordinates along a curve (in…
We study the phenomenon of Hilbert space fragmentation in isolated Hamiltonian and Floquet quantum systems using the language of commutant algebras, the algebra of all operators that commute with each term of the Hamiltonian or each gate of…
We give an example of topological theory whose Hilbert space contains physical objects: the N=2 supersymmetric Lagrangian of spin-one particles moving in D-dimensional space-time equals the Lagrangian of a topological sigma model in a…
There are two classes of topologies most often placed on the space of Lorentz metrics on a fixed manifold. As I interpret a complaint of R. Geroch [Relativity, 259 (1970); Gen. Rel. Grav., 2, 61 (1971)], however, neither of these standard…
The Unruh and Hawking effects are investigated on certain families of topologically non-trivial spacetimes using a variety of techniques. First we present the Bogolubov transformation between Rindler and Minkowski quantizations on two flat…
This work is developed in the context of Lorentzian spin-foams with space- and time-like boundaries. It is argued that the equations describing the semiclassical regime of the various spin-foam amplitudes admit a common biquaternionic…
In the realm of relativistic quantum mechanics, we address a fundamental question: Which one, between the Dirac or the Foldy-Wouthuysen density, accurately provide a probability density for finding a massive particle with spin $1/2$ at a…
The theory of spinors is developed for locally anisotropic (la) spaces, in brief la-spaces, which in general are modeled as vector bundles provided with nonlinear and distinguished connections and metric structures (such la-spaces contain…
We study the entanglement between two modes of Dirac field in an expanding spacetime characterized by the Robertson-Walker metric. This spacetime model turns out to be asymptotically (in the remote past and far future regions) Minkowskian.…
To Milne's Lorentz-group-based spacetime and Gelfand-Naimark unitary representations of this group we associate a Fock space of 'cosmological preons'-quantum-theoretic universe constituents. Milne's 'cosmological principle' relies on…
We study the stochastic $p$-Laplace system in a bounded domain. We propose two new space-time discretizations based on the approximation of time-averaged values. We establish linear convergence in space and $1/2$ convergence in time.…
An unsolved problem of particle physics is a discrepancy between the measured value of the muon anomalous magnetic moment and the theoretical prediction based on standard quantum electrodynamics. In this paper we show that if spacetime…
Minkowski space is a physically important space-time for which the finding an adequate holographic description is an urgent problem. In this paper we develop further the proposal made in hep-th/0303006 for the description as a duality…
Using the Lewis-Riesenfeld method of invariants we construct explicit analytical solutions for the massless Dirac equation in 2+1 dimensions describing quasi-particles in graphene. The Hamiltonian of the system considered contains some…
The conventional discussion of the observed distortions of space and time in Special Relativity (the Lorentz-Fitzgerald Contraction and Time Dilatation) is extended by considering observations, from a stationary frame, of : (i) objects…
We analyze the spectrum of time observable in noncommutative cosmological model introduced in [5], defined by $(\rho, s=\frac 12)\,$ representation of the de Sitter group. We find that time has peculiar property: it is not self-adjoint, but…
The space-time symmetry group of a model of a relativistic spin 1/2 elementary particle, which satisfies Dirac's equation when quantized, is analyzed. It is shown that this group, larger than the Poincare group, also contains space-time…
The duality between the Cartesian coordinates on the Minkowski space-time and the Dirac field is investigated. Two distinct possibilities to define this duality are shown to exist. In both cases, the equations satisfied by prepotentials are…
We consider the Dirac equations in static spherically-symmetric space-times, and we present a type of spinor field whose structure allows the separation of elevation angle and radial coordinate in very general situations. We demonstrate…
