Areas of contribution


Exploitation of monogenic functions in the algebra of 5-dimensional spacetime G(4,1) and their relation to the fundamental laws of physics.

For an introduction to the subject, covering special relativity and the free particle Dirac equation, see "Choice of the best geometry to explain physics," http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0510179.

For a deeper insight, covering aspects of General Relativity and Electrodynamics, see "Monogenic functions in 5-dimensional spacetime used as first principle: gravitational dynamics, electromagnetism and quantum mechanics," http://www.arxiv.org/abs/physics/0601078.

To see how the same condition leads to the standard model gauge symmetry group go to "Geometric algebra and particle dynamics," http://www.arxiv.org/abs/math.GM/0504025. There is a flaw in this paper regarding the Dirac operator; this does not affect the symmetry group discussion and was corrected in the reference above.

If one adds an hypothesis about an hyperspherical symmetry in the Universe, the monogenic condition dispenses with dark matter for the Hubble expansion; see "Geometric drive of the Universe's expansion," http://www.arxiv.org/abs/physics/0507102. The appendix introduces electromagnetism.
