Solution of the Basel problem in the framework of distribution theory
Andreas Aste
A simple proof of Euler's formula which states that the sum of the reciprocals of all natural numbers squared equals is presented based on the distribution theory introduce…
Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
Andreas Aste
The concept of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) generally lacks a simple and intuitive introduction in the literature. This gap is filled by defining SSB in a universal context…
Origin of the Complex Structure of Quantum Mechanics
Andreas Aste
This paper addresses the question why quantum mechanics is formulated in a unitary Hilbert space, i.e. in a manifestly complex setting. Investigating the linear dynamics of real qu…
Scalar models of formally interacting non-standard quantum fields in Minkowski space-time
Andreas Aste
For decades, a lot of work has been devoted to the problem of constructing a non-trivial quantum field theory in four-dimensional space time. This letter addresses the attempts to…
Point kinetic model of the early phase of a spherically symmetric nuclear explosion
Andreas Aste
A concise point kinetic model of the explosion of a prompt supercritical sphere driven by a nuclear fission chain reaction is presented. The findings are in good agreement with the…
Weyl, Majorana and Dirac fields from a unified perspective
Andreas Aste
A self-contained derivation of the formalism describing Weyl, Majorana and Dirac fields from a unified perspective is given based on a concise description of the representation the…
