Chiral Structures Under the Standard of Orthogonal Groups
Salvatore Capozziello, Alessandra Lattanzi
General features of microscopic and macroscopic chiral structures can be discussed under the standard of orthogonal group theory. Configuration space of systems, not physical space…
Geometrical and Algebraic Approach to Central Molecular Chirality: a Chirality Index and an Aufbau Description of Tetrahedral Molecules
S. Capozziello, A. Lattanzi
On the basis of empirical Fischer projections, we developed an algebraic approach to central molecular chirality of tetrahedral molecules. The elements of such an algebra are obtai…
Spiral Galaxies as Enantiomers: Chirality, an Underlying Feature in Chemistry and Astrophysics
Salvatore Capozziello, Alessandra Lattanzi
Spiral galaxies are axi-symmetric objects showing 2D-chirality when projected onto a plane. Features in common with tetrahedral molecules are pointed out, in particular the existen…
Spiral Galaxies as Chiral Objects?
Salvatore Capozziello, Alessandra Lattanzi
Spiral galaxies show axial symmetry and an intrinsic 2D-chirality. Environmental effects can influence the chirality of originally isolated stellar systems and a progressive loss o…
Chiral Tetrahedrons as Unitary Quaternions: Molecules and Particles Under the Same Standard?
Salvatore Capozziello, Alessandra Lattanzi
Chiral tetrahedral molecules can be dealt under the standard of quaternionic algebra. Specifically, non-commutativity of quaternions is a feature directly related to the chirality…
Description of chiral tetrahedral molecules via an Aufbau approach
S. Capozziello, A. Lattanzi
We propose a predictive building-up of tetrahedral molecules, based on a previously derived chirality index, which characterizes a tetrahedral molecule, with n chiral centers, as a…
