In this paper we investigate a hidden consequence of the hypothesis that Lagrangians and field equations must be invariant under active local Lorentz transformations. We show that …
The recent literature shows a renewed interest, with various independent approaches, in the classical models for spin. Considering the possible interest of those results, at least for the …

After recalling the differential geometry of non-metric connections in the formalism of differential forms, we introduce the idea of a non-metricity (NM) connection, whose …

We present the theory, the experimental evidence and fundamental physical consequences concerning the existence of families of undistorted progressive waves (UPWs) of arbitrary …
Universal coverings of orthogonal groups and their extensions are studied in terms of Clifford-Lipschitz groups. An algebraic description of basic discrete symmetries (space …

Almost all presentations of Dirac theory in first or second quantization in physics (and mathematics) textbooks make use of covariant Dirac spinor fields. An exception is the …

In this paper we study Dirac-Hestenes spinor fields (DHSF) on a four-dimensional Riemann- Cartan spacetime (RCST). We prove that these fields must be defined as certain …
Double coverings of the orthogonal groups of the real and complex spaces are considered. The relation between discrete transformations of these spaces and fundamental …
