After having obtained previously an extended first approximation of Maxwell's equations in Fock's nonlinear relativity, we propose here the corresponding exact form. In order to achieve this goal, we were inspired mainly by the special…

A mathematical derivation of Maxwell's equations for gravitation, based on a mathematical proof of Faraday's Law, is presented. The theory provides a linear, relativistic Lagrangian field theory of gravity in a weak field, and paves the way…
Special theory of relativity has been formulated in a vacuum momentum-energy representation which is equivalent to Einstein special relativity and predicts just the same results as it. Although in this sense such a formulation would be at…
In this work, the general form of $2\times2$ Dirac matrices for 2+1 dimension is found. In order to find this general representation, all relations among the elements of the matrices and matrices themselves are found,and the generalized…
In the present paper it is shown that the Maxwell theory can be finely represented in the matrix form of Dirac's equation, if the Dirac wave function is identified with the electromagnetic wave by defined way. It seems to us, that such…
A new classical theory of gravitation within the framework of general relativity is presented. It is based on a matrix formulation of four-dimensional Riemann-spaces and uses no artificial fields or adjustable parameters. The geometrical…
Expanding the ordinary Dirac's equation in quaternionic form yields Maxwell-like field equations. As in the Maxwell's formulation, the particle fields are represented by a scalar, $\psi_0$ and a vector $\vec{\psi}$. The analogy with…
This paper has pedagogical motivation. It is not uncommon that students have great difficulty in accepting the new concepts of standard special relativity, since these seem contrary to common sense. Experience shows that geometrical or…
In the R-Minkowski space-time, which we recently defined from an appropriate deformed Poisson brackets that reproduce the Fock coordinate transformation, we derive an extended form for Maxwell's equations by using a generalized version of…
We develop a novel approach to gravity that we call `matrix general relativity' (MGR) or `gravitational chromodynamics' (GCD or GQCD for quantum version). Gravity is described in this approach not by one Riemannian metric (i.e. a symmetric…

When the Maxwell equations are geometrized, the Maxwell Lagrangian is usually reduced to the Yang-Mills Lagrangian. In this case, the effective quadratic metric, usually corresponding to the Riemannian metric of our space, is considered.…
Rotations on the 3-dimensional Euclidean vector-space can be represented by real quaternions, as was shown by Hamilton. Introducing complex quaternions allows us to extend the result to elliptic and hyperbolic rotations on the Minkowski…

We define a special matrix multiplication among a special subset of $2N\x 2N$ matrices, and study the resulting (non-associative) algebras and their subalgebras. We derive the conditions under which these algebras become alternative…
