Even if at the level of the non-relativistic limit of full QED, C is not a symmetry, the limit of this operation does exist for the particular case when the electromagnetic field is considered a classical external object coupled to the…
Strictly working in the framework of the nonrelativistic quantum mechanics of a spin 1/2 particle coupled to an external electromagnetic field, we show, by explicit construction, the existence of a charge conjugation operator matrix which…
Using the standard representation of the Dirac equation we show that, up to signs, there exist only TWO SETS of consistent solutions for the matrices of charge conjugation (C), parity (P), and time reversal (T). In both cases, P^2=-1, and…
On the basis of the invariance of Dirac equation Lu(x,c)=0 with respect to the inversion of the speed of light Q:(x,c)=(x,-c), it is shown that the relationship [C,PTQ]u(x,c)=0 between the transformations of the charge conjugation C, the…
We construct self/anti-self charge conjugate (Majorana-like) states for the (1/2,0)+(0,1/2) representation of the Lorentz group, and their analogs for higher spins within the quantum field theory. The problem of the basis rotations and that…
The present theory is closely related to Dirac's equation of the electron, but not to his magnetic monopole theory, except for his relation between electric and magnetic charge. The theory is based on the fact, that the massless Dirac…
We examine three versions of non-relativistic electrodynamics, known as the electric and magnetic limit theories of Maxwell's equations and Galilean electrodynamics (GED) which is the off-shell non-relativistic limit of Maxwell plus a free…
We consider the general $\mathcal{N}{=}\,4,$ $d{=}\,3$ Galilean superalgebra with arbitrary central charges and study its dynamical realizations. Using the nonlinear realization techniques, we introduce a class of actions for…
{\it We first give a geometrical description of the action of the parity operator ($\hat{P}$) on non relativistic spin ${{1}\over{2}}$ Pauli spinors in terms of bundle theory. The relevant bundle, $SU(2)\odot \Z_2\to O(3)$, is a non trivial…
On spacetimes that are not time orientable we construct a U(1) bundle to measure the twisting of the time axis. This single assumption, and simple construction, gives rise to Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism, the Lorentz force law…
While fundamental physically realistic Hamiltonians should be invariant under time reversal, time asymmetric Hamiltonians can occur as mathematical possibilities or effective Hamiltonians. Here, we study conditions under which…
A relatively simple approach to noncommutative gravity utilizes the gauge theory formulation of general relativity and involves replacing the Lorentz gauge group by a larger group. This results in additional field degrees of freedom which…
We investigate the nonrelativistic limit of the gravitationally coupled Dirac Equation via a Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation. The relativistic correction terms have immediate and obvious physical interpretations in terms of a gravitational…
Electrons obeying the Dirac equation are investigated under the non-relativistic $c \mapsto \infty$ limit. General solutions are given by derivatives of the relativistic invariant functions whose forms are different in the time- and the…
The Hartree-Fock approximation of Quantum Electrodynamics provides a rigorous framework for the description of relativistic electrons in external fields. This nonlinear model takes into account the infinitely many virtual electrons of…
Within the known landscape of quantum gravity, most theories satisfy the Lattice Weak Gravity Conjecture (LWGC), which requires a superextremal particle at every site in the electric charge lattice $\Gamma$. However, counterexamples to the…
We show that the full spurionic symmetry of Galilean-invariant field theories can be deduced when those theories are the limits of relativistic parents. Under the limit, the non-relativistic daughter couples to Newton-Cartan geometry…
We propose that the physics beyond the standard Weinberg-Salam model is such that matter and the CP conjugate anti-matter fields have the same set of charges with respect to the various force groups (upto ordering). We show that this…
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…
We investigate the charges and fluxes that can occur in higher-order Abelian gauge theories defined on compact space-time manifolds with boundary. The boundary is necessary to supply a destination to the electric lines of force emanating…
