We investigate the spectral consequences of the uniquely determined Hermitian ordering of the Dirac Hamiltonian with spatially varying mass. In contrast to the nonrelativistic case, where continuous families of admissible prescriptions…
We demonstrate that the Dirac representation theory can be effectively adjusted and applied to signal theory. The main emphasis is on orthogonality as the principal physical requirement. The particular role of the identity and projection…
The aim of these notes is to elucidate some aspects of quantum field theory in curved spacetime, especially those relating to the notion of particles. A selection of issues relevant to wave-particle duality is given. The case of a generic…
Monogenic functions in the algebra of 5-dimensional spacetime have been used previously by the author as first principle in different areas of fundamental physics; the paper recovers that principle applying it to the hydrogen atom. The…
As a tool to carry out the quantization of gauge theory on a noncommutative space, we present a Dirac operator that behaves as a line element of the canonical noncommutative space. Utilizing this operator, we construct the Dixmier trace,…
We are dealing with possibly degenerate second-order parabolic operators whose coefficients are infinitely differentiable with respect to space variables and only measurable with respect to the time variable. We impose the H\"ormander…
The analogy between dynamics and optics had a great influence on the development of the foundations of classical and quantum mechanics. We take this analogy one step further and investigate the validity of Fermat's principle in…
We show that a time-reversed formulation of Huygens-Kirchhoff diffraction can be used to deduce the transverse and longitudinal fields of a Gaussian laser beam, starting from a simple assumption of a Gaussian beam profile in the far field.…
The Hamiltonian reggeon acting in Bargmann space is non-Hermitian with respect to the standard scalar product associated to Bargmann space. Hence the question arises, whether the eigenfunctions by the finite norm condition form a complete…
Motivated by both concepts of R.J. Adler's recent work on utilizing Clifford algebra as the linear line element $ds = \left\langle \gamma_\mu \right\rangle dX^\mu $, and the fermionization of the cylindrical worldsheet Polyakov action, we…
We study the effects of a generalized uncertainty principle on the classical and quantum cosmology of a closed Friedmann Universe whose matter content is either a dust or a radiation fluid. More concretely, assuming the existence of a…
We apply the reduced phase space quantization to the Kasner universe. We construct the kinematical phase space, find solutions to the Hamilton equations of motion, identify Dirac observables and arrive at physical solutions in terms of…
Riemannian geometry is a particular case of Hamiltonian mechanics: the orbits of the hamiltonian $H=\frac{1}{2}g^{ij}p_{i}p_{j}$ are the geodesics. Given a symplectic manifold (\Gamma,\omega), a hamiltonian $H:\Gamma\to\mathbb{R}$ and a…
We develop a rigorous method to parametrize complex structures for Klein-Gordon theory in globally hyperbolic spacetimes that satisfy a completeness condition. The complex structures are conserved under time-evolution and implement unitary…
We discuss the variational principle within Quantum Mechanics in terms of the noncommutative even Space Time sub-Algebra, the Clifford $\Ra$-algebra $Cl_{1,3}^+$. A fundamental ingredient, in our multivectorial algebraic formulation, is the…
The idea of wave mechanics leads naturally to assume the well-known relation $E=\hbar \omega $ in the specific form $H=\hbar W$, where $H$ is the classical Hamiltonian of a particle and $W$ is the dispersion relation of the sought-for wave…
I provide a prescription to define space, at a given moment, for an arbitrary observer in an arbitrary (sufficiently regular) curved space-time. This prescription, based on synchronicity (simultaneity) arguments, defines a foliation of…
The geometrical underpinnings of a specific class of Dirac operators is discussed. It is demonstrated how this class of Dirac operators allow to relate various geometrical functionals like, for example, the Yang-Mills action and the…
Lorentz covariance imposed upon a quantum logic of local propositions for which all observers can consistently maintain state collapse descriptions, implies a condition on space-like separated propositions that if imposed on generally…
We develop a new concept of quantum mechanics which is based on a generalized space-time and on an action vector space similar to it. Both spaces are provided by algebraic properties. This allows to calculate the Dirac matrixes and to…
