"Dynamical" interactions and gauge invariance
2009
Appreciating the classical understanding of the elementary particle the "dynamical" Poincare algebra is developed. It is shown that the "dynamical" Poincare algebra and the equations of motion of particles with arbitrary spin are gauge invariant and that gauge invariance and relativistic invariance stand on equal footings. A "dynamical" non-minimal interaction is constructed explicitly and the Rarita-Schwinger equation is considered in the framework of this "dynamical" interaction.
Group theory aspects of chaotic strings
2014
Chaotic strings are a special type of non-hyperbolic coupled map lattices, exhibiting a rich structure of complex dynamical phenomena with a surprising correspondence to physical contents. Chaotic strings are generated by the Chebyshev maps T2() and T3(). In this paper we connect the Chebyshev maps via the Galois theory to the cyclic groups Z2 and Z3 and give some ideas how this fundamental connection might lead to the emergence of the familiar Lie group structure of particle physics and, finally, even to the emergence of space-time. The Z3-graded cubic and ternary algebras presented here have been introduced by R. Kerner in 1991 and then developed and elaborated in collaboration with many …
Mass, zero mass and ... nophysics
2017
In this paper we demonstrate that massless particles cannot be considered as limiting case of massive particles. Instead, the usual symmetry structure based on semisimple groups like $U(1)$, $SU(2)$ and $SU(3)$ has to be replaced by less usual solvable groups like the minimal nonabelian group ${\rm sol}_2$. Starting from the proper orthochronous Lorentz group ${\rm Lor}_{1,3}$ we extend Wigner's little group by an additional generator, obtaining the maximal solvable or Borel subgroup ${\rm Bor}_{1,3}$ which is equivalent to the Kronecker sum of two copies of ${\rm sol}_2$, telling something about the helicity of particle and antiparticle states.
Lorentz invariance and gauge equivariance
2014
Trying to place Lorentz and gauge transformations on the same foundation, it turns out that the first one generates invariance, the second one equivariance, at least for the abelian case. This similarity is not a hypothesis but is supported by and a consequence of the path integral formalism in quantum field theory.
