The fundamental concepts of Riemannian geometry, such as differential forms, vielbein, metric, connection, torsion and curvature, are generalized in the context of non-commutative geometry. This allows us to construct the…
This article gives a geometric interpretation of the spin base formulation with local spin base invariance of spinors on a curved space-time and in particular of a central element, the global Dirac structure, in terms of principal and…
Spinor formalism is the formalism induced by solutions of the Clifford equation (the connecting operators). For the space-time manifold (n = 4), these operators, connecting the tangent and spinor bundle, are operators that are represented…
In standard quantum field theory, the one-particle states are classified by the unitary representations of the Poincar\'e group, whereas the causal fields' classification employs the finite-dimensional (non-unitary) representations of the…
We study the quantum mechanics of a Dirac fermion on a curved spacetime manifold. The metric of the spacetime is completely arbitrary, allowing for the discussion of all possible inertial and gravitational field configurations. In this…
It is well known that only the axial piece of the torsion couples minimally to fermions in a Riemann-Cartan geometry, while the other ones decouple. In this paper, we consider the Dirac field minimally coupled to a dynamical background with…
This paper reviews recent work on a new geometric object called a bundle gerbe and discusses some new examples arising in quantum field theory. One application is to an Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index theory construction of the bundle of…
The Pryce (e) spin and position operators of the quantum theory of Dirac's free field were re-defined and studied recently with the help of a new spin symmetry and suitable spectral representations [I. I. Cot\u aescu, Eur. Phys. J. C (2022)…
The presence of spinor fields is considered in the framework of some extensions of teleparallel gravity, where the Weitzenb\"ock connection is assumed. Some well known models as the Chaplygin gas and its generalizations are reconstructed in…
Exotic dark spinor fields are introduced and investigated in the context of inequivalent spin structures on arbitrary curved spacetimes, which induces an additional term on the associated Dirac operator, related to a Cech cohomology class.…
Let G be a compact, semi-simple Lie group and H a maximal rank reductive subgroup. The irreducible representations of G can be constructed as spaces of harmonic spinors with respect to a Dirac operator on the homogeneous space G/H twisted…
In this paper we continue the development of a spectral triple-like construction on a configuration space of gauge connections. We have previously shown that key elements of bosonic and fermionic quantum field theory emerge from such a…
We investigate quantum kinetic theory for a massive fermion system under a rotational field. From the Dirac equation in curved space we derive the complete set of kinetic equations for the spin components of the covariant and equal-time…
The proposal of this work is to provide an answer to the following question: is it possible to treat the metric of space-time - that in General Relativity (GR) describes the gravitational interaction - as an effective geometry? In other…
Understanding Dirac-like Fermions has become an imperative in modern condensed matter sciences: all across its research frontier, from graphene to high T$_c$ superconductors to the topological insulators and beyond, various electronic…
There are exactly three finite subgroups of SU(2) that act irreducibly in the spin 1 representation, namely the binary tetrahedral, binary octahedral and binary icosahedral groups. In previous papers I have shown how the binary tetrahedral…
In this paper, we study the non commutative quantum dynamics of the spinorial field in the presence of a gravitational background within DeWitt's approach. By employing the vierbein formalism in the temporal state of non commutative…
Recent work on neutrino oscillations suggests that the three generations of fermions in the standard model are related by representations of the finite group A(4), the group of symmetries of the tetrahedron. Motivated by this, we explore…
Many important features of a field theory, {\it e.g.}, conserved currents, symplectic structures, energy-momentum tensors, {\it etc.}, arise as tensors locally constructed from the fields and their derivatives. Such tensors are naturally…
By a theorem of Mclean, the deformation space of an associative submanifold Y of an integrable G_2 manifold (M,\phi) can be identified with the kernel of a Dirac operator D:\Omega^{0}(\nu) -->\Omega^{0}(\nu) on the normal bundle \nu of Y.…
