چکیده

I promised a second part. Here it is. I hesitated, because I don’t like being destructive, and unfortunately, to deal with the current state of affairs in quantum theory means just doing this: I show you that the current gauge theory is fundamentally ill-designed, along with it fall Weinberg model and Wightman theory. 1. Continuing with the Lagrangian Formalism Let me continue from where I left off in the former part: As we saw, the Lagrangian formalism for what is conceived to be the free quantum field amounts to evaluate the extremal for δ < φ,Aφ > with A := (1/2)( φ−m2). Now, A is a self-adjoint operator, and for that operator it is plain vanilla that the kernel of A is the space of the extremals of < φ,Aφ >, and in this case happens to be the space of solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation φ−m2φ = 0. The problem in here is that from φ−m2φ = 0 it cannot be concluded that L := (−1/2) ( < ∂μφ, ∂ φ > − < φ,m2φ > ) or any of its equivalent reformulations is the correct Lagrangian: A can be anything, for example the square or n-th power of A have the same kernel, but they would define different Lagrangians. (In [6] I showed that there are two distinct Lagrangians solving the very same equation of motion. Now we see that there are arbitarily many. Besides this: Does mxμ for 0 ≤ μ ≤ 3 possess the dimension of an action? No! But mxμ does! The Lagrangian Formalism is simply meaningless!

PCT, Spin, Lagrangians

This is the first part of a paper, in which I invite you to take a step aside current quantum field theory (QFT): QFT has been said to be ”well-established” since the 80’s of the last century by its foremost theorists (see: [10, p.iv]), and the majority of physicists consider it to be essentially complete since the discovery of the Higgs particle. It will be interesting to see, what that really...

Geometric Lagrangians for massive higher-spin fields

Lagrangians for massive, unconstrained, higher-spin bosons and fermions are proposed. The idea is to modify the geometric, gauge invariant Lagrangians describing the corresponding massless theories by the addition of suitable quadratic polynomials. These polynomials provide generalisations of the Fierz-Pauli mass term containing all possible traces of the basic field. No auxiliary fields are ne...

We study Lagrangians with the minimal amount of gauge symmetry required to propagate spin-two particles without ghosts or tachyons. In general, these Lagrangians also have a scalar mode in their spectrum. We find that, in two cases, the symmetry can be enhanced to a larger group: the whole group of diffeomorphisms or a enhancement involving a Weyl symmetry. We consider the non-linear completion...

Procalcitonin and minimal-change nephropathy: a pilot study.

INTRODUCTION This study assessed the role of procalcitonin (PCT) in the differentiation of minimal-change nephropathy (MCN) relapses from infections co-existent with proteinuria flares in children. METHODS Data on the PCT levels of patients with MCN who were on follow-up were retrospectively gathered at relapse (Group I), during proteinuria attacks co-existent with intercurrent infection (Gro...
