We investigate spectral features of the Dirac operator with infinite mass boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^2$. Motivated by spectral geometric inequalities, we prove a non-linear variational formulation to…
We consider the motion of charged particles in the presence of a Dirac magnetic monopole. We use an extension of Noether's theorem for systems with magnetic forces and integrate explicitly the equations of motion.
We discuss the notion of basic cohomology for Dirac structures and, more generally, Lie algebroids. We then use this notion to characterize the obstruction to a variational formulation of Dirac dynamics.
We introduce differential characters of Drinfeld modules. These are function-field analogues of Buium's p-adic differential characters of elliptic curves and of Manin's differential characters of elliptic curves in differential algebra,…
Dirac showed that the existence of one magnetic pole in the universe could offer an explanation of the discrete nature of the electric charge. Magnetic poles appear naturally in most grand unified theories. Their discovery would be of…
In these notes, we present an alternative version of discrete Dirac mechanics using Dirac structures. We first establish a notion of 'continuous Dirac system' and then propose a definition of discrete Dirac system, proving that it is…
The relation between the Dirac quantization condition of magnetic charge and the quantization of the Chern-Simons coefficient is obtained. It implies that in a (2+1)-dimensional QED with the Chern-Simons topological mass term and the…
The magnetic monopole is one of the important problems in the early stage of universe as well as observations and experiments on Earth. We study the existence or non-existence of the Dirac and the 't Hooft-Polyakov magnetic monopole…
We consider static U(1) monopole in non-commutative space. Up to the second order in the non-commutativity scale $\theta$, we find no non-trivial corrections to the Dirac solution, the monopole mass remains infinite. We argue the same holds…
Dirac cohomology is a new tool to study unitary and admissible representations of semisimple Lie groups. It was introduced by Vogan and further studied by Kostant and ourselves \cite{V2}, \cite{HP1}, \cite{Kdircoh}. The aim of this paper is…
We construct the (enhanced Rogers) dilogarithm function from the spin Chern-Simons invariant of C*-connections. This leads to geometric proofs of basic dilogarithm identities and a geometric context for other properties, such as the…
A relationship between the discrete Dirac-K\"ahler equation and discrete analogues of some Dirac type equations in the geometric spacetime algebra is discussed. We show that a solution of the discrete Dirac-K\"ahler equation can be…
We give a simple derivation of the spectrum of the Dirac magnetic monopole on a unit sphere based on geometric quantization and the Frobenius reciprocity formula. We also briefly discuss the generalisations of Dirac magnetic monopole to any…
Intersection cohomology is a way to enhance classical cohomology, allowing us to use a famous result called Poincar\'e duality on a large class of spaces known as stratified pseudomanifolds. There is a theoretically powerful way to arrive…
Dirac demonstrated that the existence of a single magnetic monopole in the universe could explain the discrete nature of electric charge. Magnetic monopoles naturally arise in most grand unified theories. However, the extensive experimental…
We introduce the so-called Clifford-Gegenbauer polynomials in the framework of Dunkl operators, as well on the unit ball B(1), as on the Euclidean space $R^m$. In both cases we obtain several properties of these polynomials, such as a…
We derive a number of spectral results for Dirac operators in geometrically nontrivial regions in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $\mathbb{R}^3$ of tube or layer shapes with a zigzag type boundary using the corresponding properties of the Dirichlet…
Classical Maxwell and Maxwell-Chern-Simons (MCS) Electrodynamics in (2+1)D are studied in some details. General expressions for the potential and fields are obtained for both models, and some particular cases are explicitly solved.…
The Dirac monopoles in 3-space and their generalization by C. N. Yang to 5-space are observed to be just the Levi-Civita spin connection of the cylindrical Riemannian metric on the 3- and 5- dimensional punctured spaces. Their…
When the index bundle of a longitudinal Dirac type operator is transversely smooth, we define its Chern character in Haefliger cohomology and relate it to the Chern character of the $K-$theory index. This result gives a concrete connection…
