A comparison of delayed radiobiological effects of depleted-uranium munitions versus fourth-generation nuclear weapons
Andre Gsponer, Jean-Pierre Hurni, Bruno Vitale
It is shown that the radiological burden due to the battlefield use of circa 400 tons of depleted-uranium munitions in Iraq (and of about 40 tons in Yugoslavia) is comparable to th…
Lanczos's equation as a way out of the spin 3/2 crisis?
Andre Gsponer, Jean-Pierre Hurni
It is shown (1) that Lanczos's quaternionic formulation of Dirac's equation does not lead to a solution of the problems that plague the standard spin 3/2 theory based on the Rarita…
Comment on formulating and generalizing Dirac's, Proca's, and Maxwell's equations with biquaternions or Clifford numbers
Andre Gsponer, Jean-Pierre Hurni
Many difficulties of interpretation met by contemporary researchers attempting to recast or generalize Dirac's, Proca's, or Maxwell's theories using biquaternions or Clifford numbe…
Non-linear field theory for lepton and quark masses
Andre Gsponer, Jean-Pierre Hurni
Barut's formula for the mass of leptons is successfully extended to quarks. A very simple non-linear scalar field model explains both the N^4 power law dependence of the mass, and…
The physical heritage of Sir W.R. Hamilton
Andre Gsponer, Jean-Pierre Hurni
150 years after the discovery of quaternions, Hamilton's conjecture that quaternions are a fundamental language for physics is reevaluated and shown to be essentially correct, prov…
