Removing redundancy in relativistic quantum mechanics
Peter Rowlands
It is proposed that the Dirac equation, as normally interpreted, incorporates intrinsic redundancies whose removal necessarily leads to an enormous gain in calculating power and ph…
The nilpotent Dirac equation and its applications in particle physics
Peter Rowlands
The nilpotent Dirac formalism has been shown, in previous publications, to generate new physical explanations for aspects of particle physics, with the additional possibility of ca…
A universal alphabet and rewrite system
Peter Rowlands, Bernard Diaz
We present two ways in which an infinite universal alphabet may be generated using a novel rewrite system that conserves zero (a special character of the alphabet and the symbol fo…
The group structure bases of a foundational approach to physics
Peter Rowlands, J. P. Cullerne, Brian D. Koberlein
Based on a fundamental symmetry between space, time, mass and charge, a series of group structures of physical interest is generated, ranging from C2 to E8. The most significant re…
The factor 2 in fundamental physics
Peter Rowlands
A brief history is given of the factor 2, starting in the most elementary considerations of geometry and kinematics of uniform acceleration, and moving to relativity, quantum mecha…
QED using the nilpotent formalism
Peter Rowlands, J. P. Cullerne
The nilpotent formalism for the Dirac equation, outlined in previous papers,is applied to QED. It is shown that what is usually described as 'renormalization' is effectively a stat…
