The Strong and Gravitational Couplings of Knotted Solitons
Robert J. Finkelstein
We extend our earlier study of the electroweak interactions of quantum knots to their gravitational and strong interactions. The knots are defined by appropriate quantum groups and…
The Elementary Particles as Quantum Knots in Electroweak Theory
Robert J. Finkelstein
We explore a knot model of the elementary particles that is compatible with electroweak physics. The knots are quantized and their kinematic states are labelled by , irr…
A Field Theory of Knotted Solitons
Robert J. Finkelstein
The conjecture that the elementary fermions are knotted flux tubes permit the construction of a phenomenology that is not accessible from the standard electroweak theory. In order…
q-Electroweak, q-Gravity, and Knotted Solitons
R. J. Finkelstein
If the Lie group of a non-Abelian theory is replaced by the corresponding q-group, one is led to replace the Lie algebra by two dual algebras. The first of these lies close to the…
Note on q-Dual Theories
R. J. Finkelstein
The q-deformation of the Lie algebras underlying the standard field theories leads to a pair of dual algebras. We describe a simple choice of possible field theories based on these…
q-Electroweak (II)
R. J. Finkelstein
A gauged theory is characterized by two dual algebras, the first lying close to the Lie algebra of SU(2) while the second introduces new degrees of freedom that may be as…
