We give from first principles the non-relativistic limit of scalar and Dirac fields in curved spacetime. We aim to find general relativistic corrections to the quantum theory of particles affected by Newtonian gravity, a regime nowadays…
The Pauli-Poisson equation is a semi-relativistic model for charged spin-1/2-particles in a strong external magnetic field and a self-consistent electric potential computed from the Poisson equation in 3 space dimensions. It is a system of…
The "spin-up" and "spin-down" projections of the second order, chiral form of Dirac Theory are shown to fit a superposition of forms predicted in an earlier classical, complex scalar gauge theory (April, 1992 Class. Quantum Grav.). In some…
Starting with the quaternionic Minkowski space-time and its four-vector representation, a rotational analogue of the quaternionic Dirac equation in the electromagnetic field is developed, which includes not only the energy solutions but…
The transition from classical physics to quantum mechanics has been mysterious. Here, we derive the space-independent von Neumann equation for electron spin mathematically from the classical Bloch or Majorana--Bloch equation, which is also…
The traditional Standard Quantum Mechanics is unable to solve the Spin-Statistics problem, i.e. to justify the utterly important Pauli Exclusion Principle. We show that this is due to the non completeness of the standard theory due to an…
Starting from an interpretation of the classical-quantum correspondence, we derive the Dirac equation by factorizing the algebraic relation satisfied by the classical Hamiltonian, before applying the correspondence. This derivation applies…
The scale transformation laws produce, on the motion equations of gravitating bodies and under some peculiar assumptions, effects which are anologous to those of a "macroscopic quantum mechanics". When we consider time and space scales such…
We construct a Dirac equation that is consistent with one of the recently-proposed schemes for a "doubly-special relativity", a relativity with both an observer-independent velocity scale (still naturally identified with the speed-of-light…
Quantum theory is formulated as a probabilistic theory on a flat Minkowski space-time, while general theory of relativity is formulated on a curved manifold as a geometric theory. Bohmian Quantum Gravity approach indicates that one need to…
We consider the Dirac equation coupled to an external electromagnetic field in curved four-dimensional spacetime with a given timelike worldline $\gamma$ representing a classical clock. We use generalised Fermi normal coordinates in a…
Schr{\"o}dinger-Pauli (SP) theory is a description of electrons in the presence of a static electromagnetic field in which the interaction of the magnetic field with both the orbital and spin moments is explicitly considered. The theory is…
In "Part I: Vector Analysis of Spinors", the author studied the geometry of two component spinors as points on the Riemann sphere in the geometric algebra of three dimensional Euclidean space. Here, these ideas are generalized to apply to…
The Schr\"odinger-Pauli theory is generally believed to give a faithful representation of the nonrelativistic and weakly relativistic limit of the Dirac theory. However, the Schr\"odinger-Pauli theory is fundamentally incomplete in its…
We classify (1+3)-dimensional Pauli equations for a spin-1/2 particle interacting with the electro-magnetic field, that are solvable by the method of separation of variables. As a result, we obtain the eleven classes of vector-potentials of…
By noticing the fact that the charged leptons and quarks in the standard model are chirality-based Dirac spinors since their weak interaction violates maximally parity symmetry though they behave as Dirac fermions in electromagnetic…
A derivation is presented of the quantummechanical wave equations based upon the Equity Principle of Einstein's General Relativity Theory. This is believed to be more generic than the common derivations based upon Einstein's energy…
By analyzing the Dirac equation with static electric and magnetic fields it is shown that Dirac's theory is nothing but a generalized one-particle quantum theory compatible with the special theory of relativity. This equation describes a…

We explore the problem of time in quantum gravity in a point-particle analogue model of scale-invariant gravity. If quantized after reduction to true degrees of freedom, it leads to a time-independent Schr\"odinger equation. As with the…
