Extra dimensions are introduced: 3 in Classical Mechanics and 6 in Relativistic Mechanics, which represent orientations, resulting from rotations, of a particle, described by quaternions, and leading to a 7-dimensional, respectively…
This is the first paper of a five part work in which we study the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian structure of classical field theories with constraints. Our goal is to explore some of the connections between initial value constraints and gauge…
Classical field theories coupled to stochastic noise provide an extremely powerful tool for modeling phenomena as diverse as turbulence, pattern-formation, and the structural development of the universe itself. In this Letter we sketch a…
Local supersymmetry leads to boundary conditions for fermionic fields in one-loop quantum cosmology involving the Euclidean normal to the boundary and a pair of independent spinor fields. This paper studies the corresponding classical…
Novel gauge functions are introduced to non-relativistic classical mechanics and used to define forces. The obtained results show that the gauge functions directly affect the energy function and that they allow converting an undriven…
When exploring equations of nonlinear electrodynamics in effective medium formed by mutually parallel external electric and magnetic fields, we come to special static axial-symmetric solutions of two types. The first are comprised of fields…
Nonlinear field theories can be used to study both standard physics questions, or to study questions such as the emergence of order and complexity. These theories are generally derived from the symmetries of a given problem and the…
Building on our previous work, we investigate the identification of the electromagnetic field as a local gauge field of a restricted group of synchrony transformations. We begin by arguing that the inability to measure the one-way speed of…
A new definition for the electromagnetic field velocity is proposed. The velocity depends on the physical fields.
Gravity theories with non-minimally coupled scalar fields are used as characteristic examples in order to demonstrate the challenges, pitfalls and future perspectives of considering alternatives to general relativity. These lecture notes…
Euclidean field theory on 4-dimensional sphere is suggested for the study of high energy multiparticle production. The singular classical field configurations are found in scalar and SU(2)-gauge theories and the cross section of 2->n…
We investigate finite field extensions of the unital 3-field, consisting of the unit element alone, and find considerable differences to classical field theory. Furthermore, the structure of their automorphism groups is clarified and the…
We study the {\it quasi-classical limit} of a quantum system composed of finitely many non-relativistic particles coupled to a quantized field in Nelson-type models. We prove that, as the field becomes classical and the corresponding…
Classical linear wave superposition produces the appearance of interference. This observation can be interpreted in two equivalent ways: one can assume that interference is an illusion because input components remain unperturbed, or that…
Is field space infinite? If not, it either loops back on itself or ends altogether. Periodic boundary conditions are of course familiar, but field space endpoints--which appear in real-world systems--are far less explored. In this paper we…
In this report we show that vacuum is a nonlinear optical medium and we discuss what are the optical phenomena that should exist in the framework of the standard model of particle physics. We pay special attention to the low energy limit.…
We study locally finite varieties (=primitive classes) of linear algebras over finite fields. We do not assume that our algebras are associative or Lie. We are interested in the basic properties of finite algebras in these varieties such…
We review in simple terms the covariant approaches to the canonical formulation of classical relativistic field theories (in particular gauge field theories and general relativity) and we discuss the relationships between these approaches…
A version of electrodynamics is constructed in which faster-than-light motions of electromagnetic fields and particles with real masses are possible.
It is shown that a unified description of classical and `quantum mechanical' gravity in its linearized form is possible.
