We consider a spherically symmetric, static system of a Dirac particle interacting with classical gravity and an SU(2) Yang-Mills field. The corresponding Einstein-Dirac-Yang/Mills equations are derived. Using numerical methods, we find…

We have found generic Killing spinor identities which bosonic equations of motion have to satisfy in supersymmetric theories if the solutions admit Killing spinors. Those identities constrain possible quantum corrections to bosonic…

In a previous paper we proved a lower bound for the spectrum of the Dirac operator on quaternionic Kaehler manifolds. In the present article we show that the only manifolds in the limit case, i.e. the only manifolds where the lower bound is…

In this article a new solution of the Einstein-Dirac's equations is presented. There are ghost spinors, i.e. the stress-energy tensor is equal to zero and the current of these fields is non-zero vector. Last the ghost neutrino was found.…

We compare the way one of us got spinors out of fields, which are a priori antisymmetric tensor fields, to the Dirac-K\"ahler rewriting. Since using our Grassmann formulation is simple it may be useful in describing the Dirac-K\"ahler…

A common view is that generalization of a wave equation on Riemannian space-time is substantially determined by what a particle is - boson or fermion. As a rule, they say that tensor equations for bosons are extended in a simpler way then…

Spinor gravity is a functional integral formulation of gravity based only on fundamental spinor fields. The vielbein and metric arise as composite objects. Due to the lack of local Lorentz-symmetry new invariants in the effective…
