It is known that quaternions represent rotations in 3D Euclidean and Minkowski spaces. However, product by a quaternion gives rotation in two independent planes at once and to obtain single-plane rotations one has to apply by half-angle…
Symmetries in the Physical Laws of Nature lead to observable effects. Beyond regularities and conserved magnitudes, the last decades in Particle Physics have seen the identification of symmetries, and their well defined breaking, as the…
We consider the quantum dynamics of a single particle in the plane under the influence of a constant perpendicular magnetic and a crossed electric potential field. For a class of smooth and small potentials we construct a non-trivial…
We provide a method to determine the motion of a classical massive particle in a background geometry of 2-dimensional gravity theories, for which the Birkhoff theorem holds. In particular, we get the particle trajectory in a continuous…
By starting with the simpliest expression of the first order linear wave equation (Dirac's equation) and by confining the elements of the coefficients (matrices) to the quaternions, it is shown that the association of the imaginary bases of…
The gravitational properties of the neutrino is studied in the weak field approximation. By imposing the hermiticity condition, CPT and CP invariance on the \em tensor matrix element, we shown that the allowed gravitational form factors for…
The masses of quarks and leptons in units of $m_t$ are expressed in powers of $\sigma=\sqrt{m_c/m_t}$. The regularities found suggest specific mass matrices. They reproduce all masses and mixings in striking agreement with observation. A 90…
We consider a system of two coupled particles evolving in a periodic and spatially symmetric potential under the influence of external driving and damping. The particles are driven individually in such a way that in the uncoupled regime,…
In the first part of these lectures, I consider chiral perturbation theory in the presence of matter fields. It allows to systematically work out the consequences of the broken chiral symmetry of QCD. As examples, threshold pion photo- and…
We review the present understanding of the spin structure of protons and neutrons, the fundamental building blocks of nuclei collectively known as nucleons. The field of nucleon spin provides a critical window for testing Quantum…
The positivity of the energy in relativistic quantum mechanics implies that wave functions can be continued analytically to the forward tube T in complex spacetime. For Klein-Gordon particles, we interpret T as an extended (8D) classical…
We find that the quantum of gravity, the graviton, has time-varying mass (the gomidium), and radius (the somium); both vary with the inverse of R; and its frequency is given by Hubble's parameter. Dark matter can be made of such gravitons.…
It is generally accepted that the dynamics of relativistic particles in the lab frame can be described by taking into account the relativistic dependence of the particles momenta on the velocity, with no reference to Lorentz…
The author discusses particular solutions of a second order equation designated by source equation. This equation is special because the metric of the space where it is written is influenced by the solution, rendering the equation…
In continuation of our model of composite electron, its companion neutrinos, photon and electro-weak gauge bosons as well as their super-partners based on extended Lorentz group $SU(3)\otimes SU(3)$ in (8+1) dimensional space-time, we show…
We propose a simple quantum mechanical equation for $n$ particles in two dimensions, each particle carrying electric charge and magnetic flux. Such particles appear in (2+1)-dimensional Chern-Simons field theories as charged vortex soliton…
We examine the motion of a relativistic charged particle in a constant magnetic field perturbed by gravitational waves incident along the direction of the magnetic field. We apply a generalized energy conservation law to compute the…
In the general frameworks of an earlier introduced quartet-metric/multi-component gravity, a theory of a massive scalar graviton supplementing the massless tensor one is consistently deduced. The peculiarities of the scalar-graviton field…
The propagation of colored quarks through strongly interacting systems, and their subsequent evolution into color-singlet hadrons, are phenomena that showcase unique facets of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Medium-stimulated gluon…
The quaternion spaces can be used to describe the property of electromagnetic field and gravitational field. In the quaternion space, some coordinate transformations can be deduced from the feature of quaternions, including Lorentz…
