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…
In this paper we will extend the notion of tangent bundle to a $\z$ graded tangent bundle. This graded bundle has a Lie algebroid structure and we can develop notions semi-riemannian metrics, Levi-civita connection, and curvature, on it. In…
This paper outlines a covariant theory of operators defined on groups and homogeneous spaces. A systematic use of groups and their representations allows to obtain results of algebraic and analytical nature. The consideration is…

A concise discussion of the 3-dimensional irreducible (1,0) and (0,1) representations of the restricted Lorentz group and their application to the description of the electromagnetic field is given. It is shown that a mass term is in…
The gauge invariant minimal couplings for a class of relativistic free matter fields with global symmetry (related to usual charge conservation) have been obtained by incorporating an iterative Noether mechanism. Non-relativistic reduction…
The possibility of non-trivial representations of the gauge group on wavefunctionals of a gauge invariant quantum field theory leads to a generation of mass for intermediate vector and tensor bosons. The mass parameters m show up as central…
It is shown that the Riemann-Silberstein vector, defined as ${\bf E} + i{\bf B}$, appears naturally in the $SL(2,C)$ algebraic representation of the electromagnetic field. Accordingly, a compact form of the Maxwell equations is obtained in…
