We emphasize that the group-theoretical considerations leading to SO(10) unification of electro-weak and strong matter field components naturally extend to space-time components, providing a truly unified description of all generation…

In relativistic quantum field theory particles of half-integer spin must obey Fermi-Dirac statistics. Their quantum operators must anticommute at spacelike separation in contrast to commuting physical observables. We show that Fermi-Dirac…

It was shown that in the small Wigner group there is a one-parameter subgroup of the Lorentz transformations, which leave unchanged not only the momentum of the fermion with spin h/2, but also its spin characteristics. This is the group of…

We review the role in physics of the Pin groups, double covers of the full Lorentz group. Pin(1,3) is to O(1,3) what Spin(1,3) is to SO(1,3). The existence of two Pin groups offers a classification of fermions based on their properties…

In a space of $d=15 $ Grassmann coordinates, two types of generators of the Lorentz transformations, one of spinorial and the other of vectorial character, both linear operators in Grassmann space, forming the group $ SO(1,14) $ which…

SO(10), or equivalently its covering group Spin(10), is a well-known promising grand unified group that contains the standard-model group. The spinors of the group Spin($N$) of rotations in $N$ spacetime dimensions are indexed by a bitcode…

A simple and self-contained proof is presented of the well-known fact that the fundamental group of SO(3) is $Z_2$, using a relationship between closed paths in SO(3) and braids.

The fermionic sector of the Standard Model of Elementary Particles emerges as the low energy limit of a single fermionic field freely propagating in a higher dimensional background. The local geometrical framework is obtained by enforcing…

Rotations in 3 dimensional space are equally described by the SU(2) and SO(3) groups. These isomorphic groups generate the same 3D kinematics using different algebraic structures of the unit quaternion. The Hopf Fibration is a projection…

We consider the analog in one spatial dimension of the Bose-Fermi transmutation for planar systems. A quantum mechanical system of a spin 1/2 particle coupled to an abelian gauge field, which is classically invariant under gauge…

The article proposes the description of internal spaces of fermion (quarks and leptons and antiquarks and antileptons) and boson (photons, weak bosons, gluons, gravitons and scalars) second quantized fields in a unique way if they all are…

In earlier works, it was seen that a ${\mathbb Z}/2$ orbifold of the theory of 24 free two-dimensional chiral fermions admits various sporadic finite simple groups as global symmetry groups when viewed as an ${\cal N}=1$, ${\cal N}=2$, or…

(N=2)-superspace without torsion is described, which is equivalent to an 8-space with a discrete internal subspace. A number and a character of ties determine now an internal symmetry group, while in the supersymmetrical models this one is…

A generalization of the Jordan-Wigner transformation to three (or higher) dimensions is constructed. The nonlocal mapping of spin to fermionic variables is expressed as a gauge transformation with topological charge equal to one. The…

Generalised spin structures are necessary for placing fermions on manifolds that do not admit a standard spin structure. This is especially relevant in a dimensional reduction on such a manifold, which can then be compensated by using…

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…

We construct the skyrmion solutions appearing in the coset spaces SU(N)/SO(N) for N > 2 and compute their classical mass. For N = 3, the third homotopy group pi_3(SU(3)/SO(3)) = Z_4 implies the existence of two distinct solutions: the…

We show that gauge invariant composites in the fermionic realization of $SU(N)_1$ conformal field theory explicitly exhibit the holomorphic factorization of the corresponding WZW primaries. In the $SU(2)_1$ case we show that the holomorphic…

Fermion fields on an M-theory five-brane carry a representation of the double cover of the structure group of the normal bundle. It is shown that, on an arbitrary oriented Lorentzian six-manifold, there is always an Sp(2) twist that allows…

Group elements of SU(2) are expressed in closed form as finite polynomials of the Lie algebra generators, for all definite spin representations of the rotation group. The simple explicit result exhibits connections between group theory,…
