Quantum Electrodynamics based on a Superselection Rule
Walter Smilga
This paper analyzes, for a multi-particle system of spin-1/2 particles, the consequences of replacing the Poincare group as fundamental symmetry group by the de Sitter group SO(3,2…
Elementary Informational Structures of Particle Physics and their Relation to Quantum Mechanics and Space-Time
Walter Smilga
Bohr's dictum "Physical phenomena are observed relative to different experimental setups" is applied to a set of binary elements that represent the smallest units of information. A…
Relativity in binary systems as root of quantum mechanics and space-time
W. Smilga
Inspired by Bohr's dictum that "physical phenomena are observed relative to different experimental setups", this article investigates the notion of relativity in Bohr's sense, star…
Spin foams, causal links and geometry-induced interactions
W. Smilga
Current theories of particle physics, including the standard model, are dominated by the paradigm that nature is basically translation invariant. Deviations from translation invari…
Higher order terms in the contraction of SO(3,2)
Walter Smilga
The contraction of a spin-1/2 representation of the de Sitter group SO(3,2) yields a translation operator that consists of the usual momentum operator plus a second order term, the…
