The traditional standard quantum mechanics (SQM) is unable to solve the spin-statistics problem, i.e. to justify the utterly important "Pauli exclusion principle". The present paper presents a simple and complete solution of the spin-statistics problem on the basis of the "conformal quantum geometrodynamics (CQG)", a theory that was found to reproduce successfully all relevant processes of the SQM based on Dirac's or Schrödinger's equations, including Heisenberg's uncertainty relations and non-local Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) correlations. When applied to a system made of many identical particles, an additional property of all elementary particles enters naturally into play: the "intrinsic helicity". This property, not considered in the SQM, determines the correct spin-statistics connection (SSC) observed in nature.

We review the main recent progresses in noncommutative space–time phenomenology in underground experiments. A popular model of noncommutative space–time is [Formula: see text]-Poincaré model, based on the Groenewold–Moyal plane algebra. This model predicts a violation of the spin-statistic theorem, in turn implying an energy and angular dependent violation of the Pauli exclusion principle. Pauli exclusion principle violating transitions in nuclear and atomic systems can be tested with very high accuracy in underground laboratory experiments such as DAMA/LIBRA and VIP(2). In this paper we derive that the [Formula: see text]-Poincaré model can be already ruled-out until the Planck scale, from nuclear transitions tests by DAMA/LIBRA experiment.

The modern state of the Pauli exclusion principle is shortly discussed. We describe the discovery by Pauli, his principle for electrons, and how it was generalized for all elementary particles in the framework of quantum mechanics. The motivations and theoretical conceptions that induced the experiments for verification of the Pauli exclusion principle are analyzed. The results and methodology of two different types of experiments are discussed: (1) the search of unusual atoms and nuclei in the stable non-Pauli states, and (2) the experiments in which the emitted radiation of non-Pauli transitions is measured. In conclusion, the comments on the discussed experiments that follow from the general quantum mechanical conceptions and group theory are formulated.

This work shows that in the frame of the stochastic generalization of the quantum hydrodynamic analogy (QHA) the uncertainty principle is fully compatible with the postulate of finite transmission speed of light and information. The theory shows that the measurement process performed in the large scale classical limit in presence of background noise, cannot have a duration smaller than the time need to the light to travel the distance up to which the quantum non-local interaction extend itself. The product of the minimum measuring time multiplied by the variance of energy fluctuation due to presence of stochastic noise shows to lead to the minimum uncertainty principle. The paper also shows that the uncertainty relations can be also derived if applied to the indetermination of position and momentum of a particle of mass m in a quantum fluctuating environment.

A molecular surface defined as an isosurface of the valence repulsion energy may be hard or soft with respect to probe penetration. As a probe, the helium atom has been chosen. In addition, the Pauli exclusion principle makes the electronic structure change when the probe pushes the molecule (at a fixed positions of its nuclei). This results in a HOMO-LUMO gap dependence on the probe site on the isosurface. A smaller gap at a given probe position reflects a larger reactivity of the site with respect to the ionic dissociation.

Focusing on systems of many identical particles, Chapter 2 introduces appropriate operators to describe their properties in terms of Schwinger’s “measurement symbols.” The latter are then factorized into “creation” and “annihilation” operators, whose fundamental properties and commutation/anticommutation relations are derived in conjunction with the Pauli exclusion principle. This leads to “second quantization” with the Hamiltonian, number, linear and angular momentum operators expressed in terms of the annihilation and creation operators, as well as the occupation number representation. Finally, the concept of coherent states, as eigenstates of the annihilation operator, having minimum uncertainty, is introduced and discussed in detail.

Thermonuclear reactions provide the main source of radiated energy for stars and they are also believed to be responsible for the production of most of the heavy elements in the Universe. The thermonuclear plasma is confined by the force of gravitation and for most of a star’s history the reactions occur slowly and steadily. In some circumstances, the properties of a star change very rapidly and explosive nuclear reactions occur. In very dense stellar interiors the energy states available to electrons may be limited by the Pauli exclusion principle. When thermonuclear reactions start in such a degenerate gas, a rise in temperature is not accompanied by a significant rise in pressure and as a result there may be a runaway increase in reaction rate. In contrast, when reactions start in a non-degenerate gas, there is normally an effective thermostat. A star is usually opaque to reaction products, so that there is no problem in maintaining the reaction temperature, but at late stages of stellar evolution nuclear or elementary particle reactions may produce large numbers of neutrinos and antineutrinos that do escape.
