By using the general concepts of special relativity and the requirements of quantum mechanics, Dirac equation is derived and studied. Only elementary knowledge of spin and rotations in quantum mechanics and standard handlings of linear…
Magnetic monopoles --- particles that behave as isolated north or south magnetic poles --- have been the subject of speculation since the first detailed observations of magnetism several hundred years ago. Numerous theoretical…
The purpose of this review paper is the collection, systematization and discussion of recent results concerning the quantization approach to the Jacobian conjecture, as well as certain related topics.
We determine what should correspond to the Dirac operator on certain quantized hermitian symmetric spaces and what its properties are. A new insight into the quantized wave operator is obtained.
We revisit the Dirac quantization condition for string-like and string-less (but multi-valued) magnetic monopole potentials. In doing so we allow for an {\it a priori} different coupling ${\tilde e}$ associated with the longitudinal…
The solution of the Dirac equation for an attractive linear potential is considered. The Lorentz nature of the potential (vector or scalar) affects the existence of bound states. For simplicity, and since it is sufficient for the goals of…
It is shown that the squared operation of the Dirac equation which is widely applied may create new solutions and moreover may change the inner nature of original equation. Some illustrating examples are considered as well.
We discuss that the singularities appearing in Dirac's formulation of magnetic monopoles are due to the set of fields which he used and not due to the physical properties of magnetic monopoles. We explain in detail that we can find the same…
It is shown that theories already presented as rigorous mathematical formalizations of widespread manipulations of Dirac's delta function are all unsatisfactory, and a new alternative is proposed.

We review an attempt to set a suitable foundational principle for consistent quantization of gravity based on the canonical formulation. It requires extending the spacetime description of the relativistic postulates to also encompass an…
The methods of reduced phase space quantization and Dirac quantization are examined in a simple gauge theory. A condition for the possible equivalence of the two methods is discussed.
The non-perturbative solution to the strong CP problem with magnetic monopoles as originally proposed by the author is described. It is shown that the gauge orbit space with gauge potentials and gauge tranformations restricted on the space…
A simple argument against the existence of magnetic monopoles is given. The argument is an important part of the quantum theory of the electric charge developed by the author.
Dirac's conjecture, that secondary first-class constraints generate transformations that do not change the physical system's state, has various counterexamples. Since no matching gauge conditions can be imposed, the Dirac bracket cannot be…
The Dirac equation, usually obtained by `quantizing' a classical stochastic model is here obtained directly within classical statistical mechanics. The special underlying space-time geometry of the random walk replaces the missing analytic…
An overview on various results concerning the Dirac-Fock model, the various variational characterization of its solutions and its nonrelativistic limit. A notion of ground state for this totally unbounded is also defined.
The Dirac method is used to analyze the classical and quantum dynamics of a particle constrained on a circle. The method of Lagrange multipliers is scrutinized, in particular in relation to the quantization procedure. Ordering problems are…
We consider exact/quasi-exact solvability of Dirac equation with a Lorentz scalar potential based on factorizability of the equation. Exactly solvable and $sl(2)$-based quasi-exactly solvable potentials are discussed separately in Cartesian…
The purpose of this paper is to show that, under certain restrictions, we can take a Dirac-Aharonov-Bohm potential as a pure gauge field. We argue that a modified quantization condition comes out for the electric charge that may open up the…
