Abstract In the present work we discuss the role of the Pauli antisymmetry principle (PAP) in synchronous pericyclic reactions. These reactions are allowed in the electronic ground state whenever the PAP does not act as a quantum constraint in the transition state. The possible suppression of the influence of the PAP is a peculiarity of π electron systems. The PAP is a hidden (= deactivated) variable in the π electron subspace of polyenes and (4n + 2) annulenes (n = 0, 1, 2,...). In 4n annulenes (n = 1, 2, 3,...) it leads to minority signs in the kinetic hopping matrix of the π electronic wave function and thus to an energetic destabilization. The quantum statistical difference between the above families of π systems renders possible a microscopical definition of the quantities “aromaticity” and “antiaromaticity”. The sign behaviour of the kinetic hopping elements is used in the discussion of pericyclic reactions. The present quantum statistical description of these reactions is related to the Dewar-Zimmermann and Woodward-Hoffmann rules.

A quaternionic commutator bracket for position and momentum shows that the quaternionic wave function, viz. ψ ˜ = ( i c ψ 0 , ψ → ) , represents a state of a particle with orbital angular momentum, L = 3 ℏ , resulting from the internal structure of the particle. This angular momentum can be attributed to spin of the particle. The vector ψ → , points in an opposite direction of L → . When a charged particle is placed in an electromagnetic field, the interaction energy reveals that the magnetic moments interact with the electric and magnetic fields giving rise to terms similar to Aharonov–Bohm and Aharonov–Casher effects.

We present a unified formulation of the interaction of electrons with the electromagnetic field in heavy ion collisions, based on quantized interacting fields. This reduces the effort in treating many-electron systems substantially, as compared with the usual S-matrix theory. Both formalisms are shown to be equivalent. The simplification achieved by our new approach is demonstrated in detail for the example of quasi-molecular radiation

We present a way to construct a pilot-wave model for quantum electrodynamics. The idea is to introduce beables corresponding only to the bosonic and not to the fermionic degrees of freedom of the quantum state. We show that this is sufficient to reproduce the quantum predictions. The beables will be field beables corresponding to the electromagnetic field and will be introduced in a way similar to that of Bohm's model for the free electromagnetic field. Our approach is analogous to the situation in non-relativistic quantum theory, where Bell treated spin not as a beable but only as a property of the wave function. After presenting this model, we also discuss a simple way for introducing additional beables that represent the fermionic degrees of freedom.
