Geometric Origin of Physical Constants in a Kaluza-Klein Tetrad Model

An important feature of Kaluza-Klein theories is their ability to relate fundamental physical constants to the radii of higher dimensions. In previous Kaluza-Klein theory, which unifies the electromagnetic field with gravity as dimensionless components of a Kaluza-Klein metric, i) all fields have the same physical dimensions, ii) the Lagrangian has no explicit dependence on any physical constants except mass, and hence iii) all physical constants in the field equations except for mass originate from geometry. While it seems natural in Kaluza-Klein theory to add fermion fields by defining higher-dimensional bispinor fields on the Kaluza-Klein manifold, these Kaluza-Klein theories do not satisfy conditions (i), (ii), and (iii). In this paper, we show how conditions (i), (ii), and (iii) can be satisfied by including bispinor fields in a tetrad formulation of the Kaluza-Klein model, as well as in an equivalent teleparallel model. This demonstrates an unexpected feature of Dirac's bispinor equation, since conditions (i), (ii), (iii) imply a special relation among the terms in the Kaluza-Klein or teleparallel Lagrangian that would not be satisfied in general.     

A Noncommutative Generalization of the Free-Field Yang–Mills Equations

The purpose of this paper is to propose a noncommutative generalization of a gauge connection and the free-field Yang–Mills equations. The paper draws upon the techniques proposed by Heller et al. for the noncommutative generalization of the Einstein field equations.     

Spin symmetric solutions of Dirac equation with PSschl-Teller potential

The approximate analytical solutions of the Dirac equation with the Poeschl-Teller potential is presented for arbitrary spin-orbit quantum number κ within the framework of the spin symmetry concept. The energy eigenvalues and the corresponding two Dirac spinors are obtained approximately in closed forms. The limiting cases of the energy eigenvalues and the two Dirac spinors are briefly discussed.     

A modification of Einstein–Schrödinger theory that contains Einstein–Maxwell–Yang–Mills theory

The Lambda-renormalized Einstein–Schrödinger theory is a modification of the original Einstein–Schrödinger theory in which a cosmological constant term is added to the Lagrangian, and it has been shown to closely approximate Einstein– Maxwell theory. Here we generalize this theory to non-Abelian fields by letting the fields be composed of d × d Hermitian matrices. The resulting theory incorporates the U(1) and SU(d) gauge terms of Einstein–Maxwell–Yang–Mills theory, and is invariant under U(1) and SU(d) gauge transformations. The special case where symmetric fields are multiples of the identity matrix closely approximates Einstein–Maxwell–Yang–Mills theory in that the extra terms in the field equations are < 10^?13 of the usual terms for worst-case fields accessible to measurement. The theory contains a symmetric metric and Hermitian vector potential, and is easily coupled to the additional fields of Weinberg–Salam theory or flipped SU(5) GUT theory. We also consider the case where symmetric fields have small traceless parts, and show how this suggests a possible dark matter candidate.     

Spin structures, spinors and the Dirac operator: real versus complex manifolds

We describe the relation between spin-structures, spinors and the Dirac operator on a (real) manifold and the analogous definitions in complex holomorphic terms. This may be useful for physicists interested in the algebraic geometric approach to superstrings.     

Derivation of Dirac's Equation from the Evans Wave Equation

The Evans wave equation [1] of general relativity is expressed in spinor form, thus producing the Dirac equation in general relativity. The Dirac equation in special relativity is recovered in the limit of Euclidean or flat spacetime. By deriving the Dirac equation from the Evans equation it is demonstrated that the former originates in a novel metric compatibility condition, a geometrical constraint on the metric vector qused to define the Einstein metric tensor. Contrary to some claims by Ryder, it is shown that the Dirac equation cannot be deduced unequivocally from a Lorentz boost in special relativity. It is shown that the usually accepted method in Clifford algebra and special relativity of equating the outer product of two Pauli spinors to a three-vector in the Pauli basis leads to the paradoxical result X = Y = Z = 0. The method devised in this paper for deriving the Dirac equation from the Evans equation does not use this paradoxical result.

Wesson’s Induced Matter Theory with a Weylian Bulk

The foundations of Wesson’s induced matter theory are analyzed. It is shown that the empty—without matter—5-dimensional bulk must be regarded as a Weylian space rather than as a Riemannian one. Revising the geometry of the bulk, we have assumed that a Weylian connection vector and a gauge function exist in addition to the metric tensor. The framework of a Weyl–Dirac version of Wesson’s theory is elaborated and discussed. In the 4-dimensional hypersurface (brane), one obtains equations describing both fields, the gravitational and the electromagnetic. The result is a geometrically based unified theory of gravitation and electromagnetism with mass and current induced by the bulk. In special cases on obtains on the brane the equations of Einstein–Maxwell, or these of the original induced matter theory.     

Inhomogeneous Yang-Mills Algebras

We determine all inhomogeneous Yang–Mills algebras and super Yang–Mills algebras which are Koszul. Following a recent proposal, a non-homogeneous algebra is said to be Koszul if the homogeneous part is Koszul and if the PBW property holds. In this letter, the homogeneous parts are the Yang–Mills algebra and the super Yang–Mills algebra.     

Spin and Pseudospin Symmetries of Dirac Equation and the Yukawa Potential as the Tensor Interaction

Considering of a tensor interaction in Dirac equation removes the degeneracy in spin and pseudospin doublets and consequently leads to results consistent with the experimental data. Here, instead of the commonly used Coulomb or linear terms, we investigate a tensor interaction of Yukawa form. We obtain arbitrary state solutions of Dirac equation under vector, scalar and tensor Yukawa potentials via a physical approximation and the Nikiforov-Uvarov methodology. The solutions are discussed in detail.

Orbits in the field of a gravitating magnetic monopole

Orbits of test particles and light rays are an important tool to study the properties of space-time metrics. Here we systematically study the properties of the gravitational field of a globally regular magnetic monopole in terms of the geodesics of test particles and light. The gravitational field depends on two dimensionless parameters, defined as ratios of the characteristic mass scales present. For critical values of these parameters the resulting metric coefficients develop a singular behavior, which has profound influence on the properties of the resulting space-time and which is clearly reflected in the orbits of the test particles and light rays.     

Spin–Spin Interactions and Nuclear Magnetic Relaxation in Magnetic Solids

The influence of the orientational fluctuations of the electronic magnetization, which modulate nuclear spin–spin interactions (Suhl–Nakamura and dipole–dipole), on the spin-lattice relaxation of magnetic nuclei with spin I = 1/2 in the magnetically ordered solids has been investigated. It has been shown that this mechanism of the spin-lattice relaxation is less effective in comparison with the process of spin-lattice relaxation caused by the direct fluctuations of hyperfine fields, which appear when there are the fluctuations of electronic magnetization direction.     

Noncommutative Supergeometry and Duality

We introduce a notion of Q-algebra that can be considered as a generalization of the notion of Q-manifold (a supermanifold equipped with an odd vector field obeying {Q,Q} =0). We develop the theory of connections on modules over Q-algebras and prove a general duality theorem for gauge theories on such modules. This theorem contains as a simplest case SO(d,d, Z)-duality of gauge theories on noncommutative tori.     

Affine Defects and Gravitation

We argue that the structure general relativity (GR) as a theory of affine defects is deeper than the standard interpretation as a metric theory of gravitation. Einstein–Cartan theory (EC), with its inhomogeneous affine symmetry, should be the standard-bearer for GR-like theories. A discrete affine interpretation of EC (and gauge theory) yields topological definitions of momentum and spin (and Yang–Mills current), and their conservation laws become discrete topological identities. Considerations from quantum theory provide evidence that discrete affine defects are the physical foundation for gravitation.     

Coupling Between Spin and Gravitational Field and Equation of Motion of Spin

In general relativity, the equation of motion of the spin is given by the equation of parallel transport, which is a result of the space-time geometry. Any result of the space-time geometry cannog be directly applied to gauge theory of gravity. In gauge theory of gravity, based on the viewpoint of the coupling between the spin and gravitational field, an equation of motlon of the spin is deduced. In the post Newtonian approximation, it is proved that this equation gives the same result as that of the equation of parallel transport. So, in the post Newtonian approximation, gauge theory of gravity gives out the same prediction on the precession of orbiting gyroscope as that of general relativity.
