In this paper, we extend the investigation of four-dimensional partially alternative algebras $\mathcal A$ initiated in \cite{HNT}. The partial alternativity condition, a natural generalization of the alternativity axiom, broadens the class…
The gauge symmetries of a general dynamical system can be systematically obtained following either a Hamiltonean or a Lagrangean approach. In the former case, these symmetries are generated, according to Dirac's conjecture, by the first…
The most familiar formalism for the description of geometry applicable to physics comprises operations among 4-component vectors and complex real numbers; few people realize that this formalism has indeed 32 degrees of freedom and can thus…
The hypothesis is suggested that the equation for the Dirac free wave field is, in fact, a group-theoretical relation describing propagation of specific microscopic deviations of space geometry from the euclidean one (closed topological…
Potential algebras can be used effectively in the analysis of the quantum systems. In the article, we focus on the systems described by a separable, 2x2 matrix Hamiltonian of the first order in derivatives. We find integrals of motion of…
We show that the exterior algebra bundle over a curved spacetime can be used as framework in which both the Dirac and the Einstein equations can be obtained. These equations and their coupling follow from the variational principle applied…
Using the Dirac (Clifford) algebra $\gamma^{\mu}$ as initial stage of our discussion, we summarize and extend previous work with respect to the isomorphic 15dimensional Lie algebra su$*$(4) as complex embedding of sl(2,$\mathbb{H}$), the…
Geometric Algebra and Calculus are mathematical languages encoding fundamental geometric relations that theories of physics seem to respect. We propose criteria given which statistics of expressions in geometric algebra are computable in…
We consider a covariant causal set approach to discrete quantum gravity. We first review the microscopic picture of this approach. In this picture a universe grows one element at a time and its geometry is determined by a sequence of…
Geometric momentum is the appropriate momentum for a particle constrained to move on a curved surface, which depends on the extrinsic curvature and leads to observable effects, and curvature-induced quantum potentials appear for a…
I show how the isomorphism between the Lie groups of types $B_2$ and $C_2$ leads to a faithful action of the Clifford algebra $\mathcal C\ell(3,2)$ on the phase space of 2-dimensional dynamics, and hence to a mapping from Dirac spinors…
Part I: The geometric algebra of space is derived by extending the real number system to include three mutually anticommuting square roots of plus one. The resulting geometric algebra is isomorphic to the algebra of complex 2x2 matrices,…
A fundamental problem regarding the Dirac quantization of a free particle on an $N-1$ curved hypersurface embedded in $N$($\geq 2$) flat space is the impossibility to give the same form of the curvature-induced quantum potential, the…
In this work, we have obtained the solutions of the (1 + 1) dimensional Dirac equation on a gravitational background within the generalized uncertainty principle. We have shown that how minimal length parameters effect the Dirac particle in…
By starting from the modified Maxwell theory coupled to gravity, the arising of geometric quantum phases in the relativistic and nonrelativistic quantum dynamics of a Dirac neutral particle from the effects of the violation of the Lorentz…
This paper contains a fully geometric formulation of the General Equation for Non-Equilibrium Reversible-Irreversible Coupling (GENERIC). Although GENERIC, which is the sum of Hamiltonian mechanics and gradient dynamics, is a framework…
The bound eigenfunctions and spectrum of a Dirac hydrogen atom are found taking advantage of the $SU(1, 1)$ Lie algebra in which the radial part of the problem can be expressed. For defining the algebra we need to add to the description an…
We summarize some previous work on SU(4) describing hadron representations and transformations as well as its noncompact 'counterpart' SU$*$(4) being the complex embedding of SL(2,$\mathbb{H}$). So after having related the 16-dim Dirac…
We show that the dynamical symmetry of the hydrogen atom leads in a natural way to an infinite-dimensional algebra, which we identify as the positive subalgebras of twisted Kac-Moody algebras of $ so(4)$. We also generalize our results to…
There are several 3+1 parameter quantities in physics (like vector + scalar potentials, 4-currents, space-time, 4-momentum). In most cases (but space-time), the 3- and the 1-parameter characterised elements of these quantities differ in the…
