LA-UR 93-2645, HEP-TH/yymmnn Majorana-Like (j, 0) ⊕ (0, j) Representation Spaces: Construction and Physical Interpretation ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a formalism that extends the Majorana-construction to arbitrary spin (j, 0)⊕(0, j) representation spaces. For the example case of spin-1, a wave equation satisfied by the Majorana-like (1, 0) ⊕ (0, 1) spinors is constructed and its physical content explored. The (j, 0) ⊕ (0, j) Majorana-construct is found to possess an unusual classical and quantum field theoretic structure. Relevance of our formalism to parity violation, hadronic phenomenologies, and grand unified field theories is briefly pointed out.

LA-UR-93-4315 (j, 0) ⊕ (0, j) Representation Space: Dirac-Like Construct ∗
This is first of the two invited lectures presented at the " XVII International School of Theoretical Physics: Standard Model and Beyond' 93. " The text is essentially based on a recent publication by the present authors [Phys. Lett. B 316 (1993) 102]. Here we show that the Dirac-like construct in the (j, 0)⊕(0, j) representation space supports a Bargmann-Wightman-Wigner-type quantum field theory.

We begin with a few remarks on an explicit construction of a Bargmann-Wightman-Wigner-type quantum field theory [Phys. Lett. B 316, 102 (1993)] in which bosons and associated antibosons have opposite relative intrinsic parities. We then construct (1, 0) ⊕ (0, 1) Majorana (CP self conjugate) and Majorana-like (CΓ 5 self conjugate, Γ 5 = chirality operator) fields. We point out that this new stru...

By considering the parity-transformation properties of the (1/2, 0) and (0, 1/2) fields in the front form we find ourselves forced to study the frontform evolution both along x+ and x directions. As a by product, we find that half of the dynamical degrees of freedom of a full theory live on the x+ = 0 surface and the other half on the x = 0 surface. Elsewhere, Jacob shows how these results are ...
متن کامل) and Metrics from Hamiltonian–TQFT’s in 2+1 Dimensions
The constraints of BF topological gauge theories are used to construct Hamiltonians which are anti-commutators of the BRST and anti-BRST operators. Such Hamiltonians are a signature of Topological Quantum Field Theories (TQFT’s). By construction, both classes of topological field theories share the same phase spaces and constraints. We find that, for 2+1 and 1+1 dimensional space-times foliated...
متن کاملLA-UR-92-3726 Intrinsic Parity of the (j, 0) ⊕ (0, j) Mesons ∗
Contrary to the usual belief, by carefully examining the operation of parity transformation on the (1, 0)⊕(0, 1) mesons in the generalized canonical representation, we establish that the (j, 0) ⊕ (0, j) meson-antimeson pair have opposite intrinsic parity. This opens up the possibility that while the particles without an internal structure may utilize one representation of the Lorentz group, phe...
