Charge conjugation and Maiorana spinors in dimension 8

Pertti Lounesto (1996)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

It is a common belief among theoretical physicists that the charge conjugation of the Dirac equation has an analogy in higher dimensional space-times so that in an 8-dimensional space-time there would also be Maiorana spinors as eigenspinors of a charge conjugation, which would swap the sign of the electric charge of the Dirac equation. This article shows that this mistaken belief is based on inadequate distinction between two kinds of charge conjugation: the electric conjugation swapping...

Noether’s theorem for a fixed region

Klaus Bering (2011)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

We give an elementary proof of Noether's first Theorem while stressing the magical fact that the global quasi-symmetry only needs to hold for one fixed integration region. We provide sufficient conditions for gauging a global quasi-symmetry.
