The Dirac operator for a manifold Q, and its chirality operator when Q is even dimensional, have a central role in noncommutative geometry. We systematically develop the theory of this operator when Q=G/H, where G and H are compact…
We present a general model allowing "quantum simulation" of one-dimensional Dirac models with 2- and 4-component spinors using ultracold atoms in driven 1D tilted optical latices. The resulting Dirac physics is illustrated by one of its…

In the old spirit of Kaluza-Klein, we consider a spacetime of the form $P = M_4 \times K$, where $K$ is the Lie group $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ equipped with a left-invariant metric that is not fully right-invariant. We observe that a complete…

Using the example of a Dirac particle in external static fields, Dirac theory is reformulated as a one-particle quantum theory in the space of normalized two-component spinors. In this formulation, the Dirac operator ``splits'' into two…

We present a method to find solutions of the Weyl or the Dirac equation without specifying a representation choice for $\gamma^a$'s. By taking $\gamma^a$'s formally as independent variables, we construct solutions out of $2^d$ orthonormal…

We propose a local renormalization group procedure where length scale is changed in spacetime dependent way. Combining this scheme with an earlier observation that high energy modes in renormalization group play the role of dynamical…
Relativistic spin-1/2 particles in curved spacetime are naturally described by Dirac theory, which is a dynamical and Lorentz-invariant field theory. In this work, we propose a non-dynamical fermion theory in 3+1 dimensions dubbed spinor…
The Dirac equation provides a description of spin 1/2 particles, consistent with both the principles of quantum mechanics and of special relativity. Often its presentation to students is based on mathematical propositions that may hide the…
