The interrelationship between energy and probability conservation is explored from the point of view of statistical physics and non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The simultaneous validity of the law of conservation of energy and the…
As a continuation of previous investigations, the formalism used there is extended to the case when an external electric field is present and the covariant formulation is performed again. The equation system obtained allows no restriction…
We derive a Dirac-like equation, the asymmetric Dirac equation, where particles and antiparticles sharing the same wave number have different energies and momenta. We show that this equation is Lorentz covariant under proper Lorentz…
We show that the CPT group of the Dirac field emerges naturally from the PT and P (or T) subgroups of the Lorentz group.
We derive and discuss the constraints induced by Poincare' invariance on the form of the heavy-quark potential up to order 1/m^2. We present two derivations: one uses general arguments directly based on the Poincare' algebra and the other…
The extended commutation relations for a generalized uncertainty principle have been based on the assumption of the minimal length in position. Instead of this assumption, we start with a constrained Hamiltonian system described by the…
In this paper, we provide an explicit probability distribution for classification purposes. It is derived from the Bayesian nonparametric mixture of Dirichlet process model, but with suitable modifications which remove unsuitable aspects of…
I derive the overlap Dirac operator starting from the overlap formalism, discuss the numerical hurdles in dealing with this operator and present ways to overcome them.
Probabilistic description of results of measurements and its consequences for understanding quantum mechanics are discussed. It is shown that the basic mathematical structure of quantum mechanics like the probability amplitude, Born rule,…
In this paper we analyze the invariance of the Dirac equation under disformal transformations depending on the propagating spinor field. Using the Weyl-Cartan formalism, we construct a large class of disformal maps between different metric…
In 1945, Dirac attempted to develop a "formal probability" distribution to describe quantum operators in terms of two non-commuting variables, such as position x and momentum p [Rev. Mod. Phys. 17, 195 (1945)]. The resulting…
We prove the following theorem: the Dirac equation for an electron (invented by P.A.M.Dirac in 1928) can be written as a tensor equation. An equation is called a tensor equation if all values in it are tensors and all operations in it take…
We show that the Dirac factorization method can be successfully employed to treat problems involving operators raised to a fractional power. The technique we adopt is based on an extension of the Pauli matrices and the properties of the…
The Dirac equation is not semisimple. We therefore regard it as a contraction of a simpler decontracted theory. The decontracted theory is necessarily purely algebraic and non-local. In one simple model the algebra is a Clifford algebra…
In the present paper it is shown that the Dirac electron theory is the approximation of the special nonlinear electromagnetic field theory
We present proofs of classical results in Poisson geometry using techniques from Dirac geometry. This article is based on mini-courses at the Poisson summer school in Geneva, June 2016, and at the workshop "Quantum Groups and Gravity" at…
A recent article in Nature Physics unified key results from thermodynamics, statistics, and information theory. The unification arose from a general equation for the rate of change in the information content of a system. The general…
This work concerns the Perona-Malik equation, which plays essential role in image processing. The first part gives a survey of results on existance, uniqueness and stability of solutions, the second part introduces discretisations of…
In quantum experiments the acquisition and representation of basic experimental information is governed by the multinomial probability distribution. There exist unique random variables, whose standard deviation becomes asymptotically…
We show that the so called Elko equation can be derived from a 5-dimensional Dirac equation. We argue that this result can be relevant for dark matter and cosmological scenarios. We generalize our procedure to higher dimensions.
