We consider a geometric approach to field theory in which torsion is present in the matter field equations, and we develop the consequences of the torsion-spin coupling for a pair of single-handed spinors; we show these interactions to have…
We investigate the axial vector torsion-spin coupling effects in the framework of the Poincar\'e gauge theory of gravity with the general Yang-Mills type Lagrangian. The dynamical equations for the ``electric'' and ``magnetic'' components…
Chiral antisymmetric tensor fields can have chiral couplings to quarks and leptons. Their kinetic terms do not mix different representations of the Lorentz symmetry and a local mass term is forbidden by symmetry. The chiral couplings to the…
We suggest model equations, which, from some point of view, describe local interaction of three physical fields: a field of matter, an electromagnetic field and a gravitational field. A base of the model is a field of matter described by…
The application of fermion-boson symmetry to the standard model leads to the following: first, there are three generations of scalar quarks and scalar leptons in addition to the known quarks and leptons, and, secondly, the divergences in…

In this work, we investigate the effects of the torsion-fermionic interaction on the energy levels of fermions within a Riemann-Cartan geometry using a model-independent approach. We consider the case of fermions minimally coupled to the…
A system in which the free part of the action possesses a gauge symmetry that is not respected by the interacting part presents problems when quantized. We illustrate how the Dirac constraint formalism can be used to address this difficulty…

In this paper we show how in the most natural extension of gravity with torsion, fermion fields are endowed with running coupling in spinorial interaction, that are shown to reproduce the strength and structure of the leptonic weak forces.
We examine the constraints that future lepton colliders would impose on the effective field theory describing modifications of top-quark interactions beyond the standard model, through measurements of the $e^+e^-\to bW^+\:\bar bW^-$…
The standard model weak interactions can be described by four-fermion V-A operators at low energies. New physics at the TeV scale can, however, generate the other Lorentz structures. In this talk, we review the constraints on such…
The observed small, positive cosmological constant may originate from a four-fermion interaction generated by the spin-torsion coupling in the Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Kibble gravity if the fermions are condensing. In particular, such a…
In this paper we continue and improve the analysis of the effective actions obtained by integrating out a scalar and a fermion field coupled to external symmetric sources, started in the previous paper. The first subject we study is the…
We revisit the problem of deriving local gauge invariance with spontaneous symmetry breaking in the context of an effective field theory. Previous derivations were based on the condition of tree-order unitarity. However, the modern point of…
