Quantum mechanics for three versions of the Dirac equation in a curved spacetime
Mayeul Arminjon, Frank Reifler
We present a recent work on the Dirac equation in a curved spacetime. In addition to the standard equation, two alternative versions are considered, derived from wave mechanics, an…
Measuring a Kaluza-Klein radius smaller than the Planck length
Frank Reifler, Randall Morris
Hestenes has shown that a bispinor field on a Minkowski space-time is equivalent to an orthonormal tetrad of one-forms together with a complex scalar field. More recently, the Dira…
Conditions for exact equivalence of Kaluza-Klein and Yang-Mills theories
Frank Reifler, Randall Morris
Although it is well known that Kaluza-Klein and Yang-Mills theories define equivalent structures on principal bundles, the general conditions for equivalence of their Lagrangians h…
Geometric Origin of Physical Constants in a Kaluza-Klein Tetrad Model
Frank Reifler, Randall Morris
An important feature of Kaluza-Klein theories is their ability to relate fundamental physical constants to the radii of higher dimensions. In previous Kaluza-Klein theory, which un…
Hestenes' Tetrad and Spin Connections
Frank Reifler, Randall Morris
Defining a spin connection is necessary for formulating Dirac's bispinor equation in a curved space-time. Hestenes has shown that a bispinor field is equivalent to an orthonormal t…
