Quantum physics, fields and closed timelike curves: The D-CTC condition in quantum field theory
Juergen Tolksdorf, Rainer Verch
The D-CTC condition is a condition originally proposed by David Deutsch as a condition on states of a quantum communication network that contains "backward time-steps" in some of i…
Z_2-Bi-Gradings, Majorana Modules and the Standard Model Action
Juergen Tolksdorf
The action functional of the Standard Model of particle physics is intimately related to a specific class of first order differential operators called Dirac operators of Pauli type…
Gauge Theories of Dirac Type
Juergen Tolksdorf, Torsten Thumstaedter
A specific class of gauge theories is geometrically described in terms of fermions. In particular, it is shown how the geometrical frame presented naturally includes spontaneous sy…
On the Semi-Classical Vacuum Structure of the Electroweak Interaction
Juergen Tolksdorf
It is shown that in the semi-classical approximation of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model the moduli space of vacua can be identified with the first de Rham cohomology g…
(Bosonic)Mass Meets (Extrinsic)Curvature
Juergen Tolksdorf
In this paper we discuss the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking from the point view of vacuum pairs, considered as ground states of a Yang-Mills-Higgs gauge theory. We trea…
