Due to the standard electroweak model we have become accustomed to think about a neutrino $\nu$ and its antineutrino $\bar \nu$ as distinct particles. However, it has long been recognized that the apparent distinction between them may be…

We derive the neutrino oscillation probabilities including sterile neutrinos by using the Dirac equation. If neutrinos have both the Dirac and the Majorana mass terms, left-handed neutrino $\nu_L$ and right-handed anti-neutrino $\nu_R^c$…

We show that Majorana particles belong to the Wigner class of fermions in which the charge conjugation and the parity operators commute, rather than anticommute. Rigorously speaking, Majorana spinors do not satisfy the Dirac equation [a…

The basis of new ideas in the old theory is the Majorana and Ahluwalia constructs, modified versions of the Weinberg $2(2j+1)$ theory, and the Barut's self-field quantum electrodynamics.

There are Poincare group representations on complex Hilbert spaces, like the Dirac spinor field, or real Hilbert spaces, like the electromagnetic field tensor. The Majorana spinor is an element of a 4 dimensional real vector space. The…

The physical results of quantum field theory are independent of the various specializations of Dirac's gamma-matrices, that are employed in given problems. Accordingly, the physical meaning of Majorana's equation is very dubious,considering…

This paper is devoted to several existence results for a generalized version of the Yamabe problem. First, we prove the remaining global cases for the range of powers $\gamma\in (0,1)$ for the generalized Yamabe problem introduced by…

This paper has rather a pedagogical meaning. Surprising symmetries in the $(j,0)\oplus (0,j)$ Lorentz group representation space are analyzed. The aim is to draw reader's attention to the possibility of describing the particle world on the…

We compare various formalisms for neutral particles. It is found that they contain unexplained contradictions. Next, we investigate the spin-1/2 and spin-1 cases in different bases. Next, we look for relations with the Majorana-like field…

Mechanisms for Majorana neutrino mass generation can be classified according to the level at which the Weinberg operator is generated. The different possibilities can be sorted in "canonical" tree level and loop-induced realizations, the…

The Riemann Hypothesis states that the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(z)$ admits a set of ``non-trivial'' zeros that are complex numbers supposed to have real part $1/2$. Their distribution on the complex plane is thought to be the key to…

Let $\Omega \subset \rr^2$ be a bounded simply connected domain. We show that, for a fixed (every) $p\in (1,\fz),$ the divergence equation $\mathrm{div}\,\mathbf{v}=f$ is solvable in $W^{1,p}_0(\Omega)^2$ for every $f\in L^p_0(\Omega)$, if…

This paper is a contribution to Vinberg's theory of $\theta$-groups, or in other words, to Invariant Theory of periodically graded semisimple Lie algebras. One of our main tools is Springer's theory of regular elements of finite reflection…

Two mathematical models based on Pauli transformations including U(1) chiral group and Pauli SU(2) group, that mixes particle and antiparticle states, are developed for description of Majorana properties of neutral particles. The first one…

Majorana found a way to exploit the scaling properties of the Thomas-Fermi equation for converting this second-order differential equation into one of first order. We explore his method for the familiar neutral-atom solution and extend it…

Majorana theory was introduced by A. A. Ivanov as an axiomatic framework in which to study objects related to the Monster simple group and the Griess algebra. Since its inception, it has been used to construct a number of new and important…

We consider the ``visible'' Wigner matrix, a Wigner matrix whose $(i, j)$-th entry is coerced to zero if $i, j$ are co-prime. Using a recent result from elementary number theory on co-primality patterns in integers, we show that the…

Are neutrinos with definite masses Majorana or Dirac particles? This is one of the most fundamental problem of the modern neutrino physics. The solution of this problem could be crucial for understanding of the origin of small neutrino…

We present a formalism that extends the Majorana-construction to arbitrary spin (j,0)+(0,j) representation spaces. For the example case of spin-1, a wave equation satisfied by the Majorana-like (1,0)+(0,1) spinors is constructed and its…

A fundamental property of compact groups and compact quantum groups is the existence and uniqueness of a left and right invariant probability -- the Haar measure. This is a natural playground for classical and quantum probability, provided…
