  1. The Clifford bundle and the nature of the gravitational field.Waldyr A. Rodrigues & Quintino A. G. de Souza - 1993 - Foundations of Physics 23 (11):1465-1490.
    In this paper we formulate Einstein's gravitational theory with the Clifford bundle formalism. The formalism suggests interpreting the gravitational field in the sense of Faraday, i.e., with the field residing in Minkowski spacetime. We succeeded in discovering the condition for this interpretation to hold. For the variables that play the role of the gravitational field in our theory, the Lagrangian density turns out to be of the Yang-Mills type (with an auto-interaction plus gauge-fixing terms). We give a brief comparison of (...)

  • On the existence of undistorted progressive waves (UPWs) of arbitrary speeds 0≤ϑ<∞ in nature.Waldyr A. Rodrigues & Jian-Yu Lu - 1997 - Foundations of Physics 27 (3):435-508.
    We present the theory, the experimental evidence and fundamental physical consequences concerning the existence of families of undistorted progressive waves (UPWs) of arbitrary speeds 0≤ϑ<∞, which are solutions of the homogeneuous wave equation, the Maxwell equations, and Dirac, Weyl, and Klein-Gordon equations.

  • An analysis of Fierz identities, factorization and inversion theorems.Suemi Rodríguez-Romo - 1993 - Foundations of Physics 23 (11):1535-1542.
    We show that the full set of Fierz identities which are used to compute electro-weak interactions reported by Y. Takahashi can be considered as particular cases of the Clifford product between multivector Cartan maps. Moreover, we think that our approach can be generalized to higher-dimensional models.We discuss the factorization and inversion theorems for the recovery of the spinor from its multivectorial Cartan map.A new classification given by P. Lounesto is applied to the recovered spinors for Cl1,3 space-time symmetry and SU(2)×U(1) (...)

  • Vector-valued rational forms.D. E. Roberts - 1993 - Foundations of Physics 23 (11):1521-1533.
    We define rational Hermite interpolants to vector-valued functions and show that, in the context of Clifford algebras, the numerator and denominator polynomials belong to a complex extension of the Lipschitz group. We also discuss the problem of constructing an algebraic representation for the generalized inverse of a vector, which is at the heart of the usual development of vector rational approximation.

  • Direct product and decomposition of certain physically important algebras.Robert W. Johnson - 1996 - Foundations of Physics 26 (2):197-222.
    I consider the direct product algebra formed from two isomorphic Clifford algebras. More specifically, for an element x in each of the two component algebras I consider elements in the direct product space with the form x ⊗ x. I show how this construction can be used to model the algebraic structure of particular vector spaces with metric, to describe the relationship between wavefunction and observable in examples from quantum mechanics, and to express the relationship between the electromagnetic field tensor (...)
