In this paper we consider the most general field equations for a system of two fermions of which one single-handed, showing that the spin-torsion interactions among these spinors have a structure identical to that of the electroweak forces among leptons; possible extensions are discussed.

Weyl and Majorana Spinors as Pure Goldstone Bosons

Luca Fabbri

Summary: The paper investigates the structure of general spinors in polar form and finds that Weyl and Majorana spinors can be interpreted as pure Goldstone states, without any real degree of freedom.

Spinor fields in f(Q)-gravity

Stefano Vignolo, Sante Carloni, Roberto Cianci, Fabrizio Esposito, Luca Fabbri

Summary: This study presents a tetrad-affine approach to investigate the coupling between f(Q) gravity and spinor fields of spin-1/2. Field equations and the conservation law of spin density are derived. The study focuses on Bianchi type-I cosmological models and provides a general procedure to solve the corresponding field equations. Analytical solutions are obtained in the case of f(Q) = alpha Q(n), showing isotropization at late times and the possibility of accelerated expansion depending on the exponent n.

A Note on Singularity Avoidance in Fourth-Order Gravity

Exploiting new classes of mass-dimension one fermions

Rodolfo Jose Bueno Rogerio, Luca Fabbri

Summary: In this paper, a new class of spin-half mass-dimension one fermions is obtained using the machinery introduced in Ahluwalia (Ahluwalia 2020. Phys. Eng. Sci. 476, 20200249. (doi:10.1098/rspa.2020.0249) and EPL 131, 41001. (doi:10.1209/0295-5075/131/41001)). These spinors, after a suitable dual structure examination, can serve as expansion coefficients for a local field.

Symmetry Breaking of Universal Type and Particular Types

Luca Fabbri

Summary: This article investigates the concepts of symmetry and its breakdown from two different perspectives. It discusses the universal asymmetry resulting from a special configuration in the first case, using an example from the standard model of particles and its consequences for cosmological scenarios. In the second case, it explores specific solutions for particle dynamics and an example of a toy model of entangled spins.

Goldstone States as Non-Local Hidden Variables

Luca Fabbri

Summary: This article discusses the theory of spinor fields in polar form, focusing on separating the true degrees of freedom of spinors from their Goldstone states. It is shown that these degrees of freedom contain information about rotation that is independent of gravitation. A model of entangled spins is constructed using this theory, where a singlet possesses a uniform rotation that collapses simultaneously regardless of spatial distance. Similar models of entangled polarizations are also discussed, along with an analogy to the double-slit experiment. General comments on Goldstone states are provided.

de Broglie-Bohm Formulation of Dirac Fields

Luca Fabbri

Summary: This article presents the theory of Dirac spinors in the formulation proposed by Bohm based on the idea of de Broglie. It re-writes the quantum relativistic matter field as a special type of classical fluid, demonstrating how a relativistic environment can encompass the non-local aspects of the hidden variables theory.

Necessity of Tensorial Connections for Spinorial Systems

Luca Fabbri

Summary: In this article, we investigate tensorial connection for spinorial fields in polar form in various physical situations. We demonstrate that the tensorial connection is a useful tool in some cases, while in other cases, it is a necessary object. We compare and analyze different cases with a tensorial connection, exploring the analogies between space-time structures. Furthermore, we provide comments on quantum field theory and specific spinors.

Torsionally-Induced Stability in Spinors

Luca Fabbri

Summary: In this paper, we investigate the role of the torsion axial-vector in the dynamics of Dirac spinor fields. We demonstrate that the torsional correction leads to effects that regularize the otherwise singular distribution of spinorial matter fields. Finally, we provide comments on the implications for physics.

Propagators Beyond The Standard Model

Rodolfo Jose Bueno Rogerio, Luca Fabbri

Summary: In this paper, we investigate a versatile field propagator that can accommodate both newly-defined mass-dimension 1 fermions and spin-1/2 bosons. Our approach involves defining a mapping between spinors of different Lounesto classes and expressing the propagator in terms of the corresponding dual structures.

Dirac Theory in Hydrodynamic Form

Luca Fabbri

Summary: We investigate the hydrodynamic formulation of quantum mechanics for relativistic spinor fields and find that the commonly defined velocity cannot accurately represent the tangent vector to particle trajectories. We propose an alternative definition for the tangent vector and hence particle trajectories, which we believe to be novel and unique. These findings are a crucial step towards addressing additional challenges such as defining trajectories for multi-particle systems or ensembles, as they have numerous applications and implications in quantum mechanics.

Accurate determination of band tail properties in amorphous semiconductor thin film with Kelvin probe force microscopy

Luca Fabbri, Camilla Bordoni, Pedro Barquinha, Jerome Crocco, Beatrice Fraboni, Tobias Cramer

Summary: The disordered microscopic structure of amorphous semiconductors leads to the formation of band tails in the density of states (DOS), which greatly affect charge transport properties. Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM) is a powerful technique to measure the DOS, but lacks a model to interpret KPFM spectroscopy data on amorphous semiconductors of finite thickness. In this study, an analytical solution to the Poisson equation is provided for a metal-insulator-semiconductor junction interacting with the atomic force microscope tip, allowing for the fitting of experimental data and obtaining DOS parameters. This method was demonstrated on Indium-Gallium-Zinc Oxide (IGZO) thin-film transistors (IGZO-TFTs) and showed good agreement with values obtained from photocurrent spectroscopy.

Dirac Hydrodynamics in 19 Forms

Luca Fabbri

Summary: This article discusses the re-formulation of relativistic spinor field theory in polar variables, allowing for interpretation in terms of fluid variables. The dynamics of spinor fields are then converted into a special type of spin fluid dynamics. The authors demonstrate that this conversion into dynamical spin fluid is not unique, but can be achieved through 19 different rearrangements, as evidenced by the 19 minimal systems of hydrodynamic equations equivalent to the Dirac equations.

Relativistic dynamical inversion in manifestly covariant form

Andre G. Campos, Luca Fabbri

Summary: In this study, the relativistic dynamical inversion technique is used to find analytical solutions to the Dirac equation in explicitly covariant form. The technique is demonstrated by making a change from Cartesian to spherical coordinates for a given Dirac spinor. The study also constructs a family of normalizable analytic solutions and identifies exact solutions for specific cases involving magnetic and electric fields.
