We have developed a quantum field theory of spinors based on the algebra of canonical anticommutation relations (CAR algebra) of Grassmann densities in the momentum space. We have proven the existence of two spinor vacua. Operators C and T transform the normal vacuum into an alternative one, which leads to the breaking of the C and T symmetries. The CPT is the real structure operator; it preserves the normal vacuum. We have proven that, in the theory of the Dirac Sea, the formula for the charge conjugation operator must contain an additional generalized Dirac conjugation operator.


A momentum space formulation of curved space–time quantum field theory is presented. Such a formulation allows the riches of momentum space calculational techniques already existing in nuclear physics to be exploited in the application of quantum field theory to cosmology and astrophysics. It is demonstrated that one such technique can allow exact, or very accu­rate approximate, results to be obtained in cases which are intractable in coordinate space. An efficient method of numerical solution is also described.

An eigenvalue equation for the spectrum of lepton and quark is obtained from a truncated set of Tamm-Dancoff integral equations, generated by a four-fermion interaction based on a finite nonlocal quantum field theory. Eigenvalue equations for the meson and baryon mass spectra are also derived and integral equations are proposed for the scattering amplitudes, which can be used to calculate coupling constants in the nonlocal version of the standard model.
