A non-canonical correspondence of the complete sets of solutions to the Dirac and Klein-Gordon free equations in Minkowski space-time is established. This allows for a novel viewpoint on the relationship of relativistic equations for…
In spite of its problems with interactions, the first-quantized Klein-Gordon equation is a satisfactory theory of free spinless particles. Moreover, the usual theory may be extended to describe Lorentz-violating behavior, of the same types…

We study the gravity-mediated scattering of scalar fields based on a parameterisation of the Lorentzian quantum effective action. We demonstrate that the interplay of infinite towers of spin zero and spin two poles at imaginary squared…

In this note we show that in a scale invariant relativistic field theory fields of canonical dimensionality are not necessarily free provided the scale invariance is spontaneously broken.
We discuss some aspects of noncommutative quantum field theories obtained from the Seiberg-Witten limit of string theories in the presence of an external B-field. General properties of these theories are studied as well as the…
