Spinning ring wormholes: a classical model for elementary particles?
نویسنده
چکیده
Static horizonless solutions to the Einstein–Maxwell field equations, with only a circular cosmic string singularity, are extended to exact rotating asymptotically flat solutions. The possible interpretation of these field configurations as spinning elementary particles or as macroscopic rotating cosmic rings is discussed. Talk presented at the 4 Alexander Friedmann International Seminar on Gravitation and Cosmology, Saint Petersburg, Russia, June 17-25 1998. E-mail: [email protected].

Spinning Particles in General Relativity
— We analyze the behavior of a spinning particle in gravity, both from a quantum and a classical point of view. We infer that, since the interaction between the space-time curvature and a spinning test particle is expected, then the main features of such an interaction can get light on which degrees of freedom have physical meaning in a quantum gravity theory with fermions. Finally, the dimensi...
متن کاملTraversable wormholes: the Roman ring
In this brief report I introduce a yet another class of geometries for which semi-classical chronology protection theorems are of dubious physical reliability. I consider a “Roman ring” of traversable wormholes, wherein a number of wormholes are arranged in a ring in such a manner that no subset of wormholes is near to chronology violation, though the combined system can be arbitrarily close to...
متن کاملGeometric Foundation of Spin and Isospin
Various theories of spinning particles are interpreted as realizing elements of an underlying geometric theory. Classical particles are described by trajectories on the Poincaré group. Upon quantization an eleven-dimensional Kaluza-Klein type theory is obtained which incorporates spin and isospin in a local SL(2, C) × U(1) × SU(2) theory with broken U(1)× SU(2) part. The theories that describe ...

A new class of electrically charged wormholes is described in which the outer two sphere is not spanned by a compact coorientable hypersurface. These wormholes can therefore display net electric charge from the source free Maxwell’s equation. This extends the work of Sorkin on non-space orientable manifolds, to spacetimes which do not admit a time orientation. The work is motivated by the sugge...
متن کاملDixon-Souriau equations from a 5-dimensional spinning particle in a Kaluza-Klein framework
The dimensional reduction of Papapetrou equations is performed in a 5-dimensional Kaluza-Klein background and Dixon-Souriau results for the motion of a charged spinning body are obtained. The splitting provides an electric dipole moment, and, for elementary particles, the induced parity and time-reversal violations are explained.
