A twistor model is proposed for the free relativistic anyon. The Hamiltonian reduction of this model by the action of the spin generator leads to the minimal covariant model; whereas that by the action of spin and mass generators, to the…
It is shown that the Lorentz group plays prominent roles in at least two areas in condensed matter physics, namely in the Bogoliubov transformation and optical filters. It is pointed out that the underlying symmetry of the Bogoliubov…
As a serious attempt for constructing a new foundation for describing micro-entities from a causal standpoint, it was explained before in [1, 2, 3] that by unifying the concepts of information, matter and energy, each micro-entity is…
Hamilton in the course of his studies on quaternions came up with an elegant geometric picture for the group SU(2). In this picture the group elements are represented by ``turns'', which are equivalence classes of directed great circle arcs…
In the context of applying the Lorentz group theory to polarization optics in the frames of Stokes-Mueller formalism, some properties of the Lorentz group are investigated. We start with the factorized form of arbitrary Lorentz matrix as a…
In this thesis, entanglement under fully relativistic settings are discussed. The thesis starts with a brief review of the relativistic quantum mechanics. In order to describe the effects of Lorentz transformations on the entangled states,…
The earlier treatments of Lorentz covariant harmonic oscillator have brought to light various difficulties, such as reconciling Lorentz symmetry with the full Fock space, and divergence issues with their functional representations. We…
Relativistic treatments of quantum mechanical systems are important for understanding hadronic structure and dynamics at sub-nucleon distance scales. Hadronic states in different inertial reference frames are needed to compute current…
We present a new approach to cosmological perturbations based on the theory of Lie groups and their representations. After re-deriving the standard covariant formalism from SO(3) considerations, we provide a new expansion of the perturbed…
We propose a new line of attack to create a finite quantum theory which includes general relativity and (perhaps) the standard model in its low energy limit. The theory would emerge from the categorical approach. A structure is observed on…
It is shown that the extended teleparallel gravitational theories, known as f(T) theories, inherit some on shell local Lorentz invariance associated with the tetrad field defining the spacetime structure. We discuss some enlightening…
A spacetime group is a connected 4-dimensional Lie group G endowed with a left invariant Lorentz metric h and such that the connected component of the isometry group of h is G itself. The Newman-Penrose formalism is used to give an…
An extension of the Lorentz group to include generators $\Gamma^\mu$ carrying a space-time index is demonstrated to explicitly construct the Minkowski metric within the internal group space as a consequence of the non-vanishing commutation…
Quantum operators of coordinates and momentum components of a particle in Minkowski space-time belong to a noncommutative algebra and give rise to a quantum phase space. Under some constraints, in particular, the Lorentz invariance…
In this paper such Riemann metrics are established whose Laplace-Beltrami operators are identical to familiar Hamilton operators of elementary particle systems. Such metrics are the natural positive definite invariant metrics defined on…
Quantum field theory of space-like particles is investigated in the framework of absolute causality scheme preserving Lorentz symmetry. It is related to an appropriate choice of the synchronization procedure (definition of time). In this…

A scalar field obeying a Lorentz invariant higher order wave equation, is minimally coupled to the electromagnetic field. The propagator and vertex factors for the Feynman diagrams, are determined. As an example we write down the matrix…
In this article we construct a large family of $R$-matrices for various extensions of small quantum groups by grouplike elements. The extensions are in correspondence to lattices between root and weight lattice and admit $R$-matrices in…
We propose a modification of special relativity in which a physical energy, which may be the Planck energy, joins the speed of light as an invariant, in spite of a complete relativity of inertial frames and agreement with Einstein's theory…
