The physical community agrees that the variational principle is a cornerstone of a quantum fields theory (QFT) of an elementary particle. This approach examines the variation of the action of a Lagrangian density whose form is \(S = \int d^4 x \mathcal {L}(\psi,\psi_{,\mu}).\) The dimension of the action \(S\) and \(d^4x\) prove that the quantum function \(\psi\) of any specific Lagrangian density \(\mathcal {L}(\psi,\psi_{,\mu})\) has a definite dimension. This evidence determines the results of new consistency tests of QFTs. This work applies these tests to several kinds of quantum functions of a QFT of elementary particles. It proves that coherent results are derived from the standard form of quantum electrodynamics which depends on the Dirac linear equation of a massive charged particle and Maxwell theory of the electromagnetic fields. In contrast, contradictions stem from second-order quantum theories of an elementary particle, such as the Klein-Gordon equation and the electroweak theory of the \(W^\pm\) boson. An observation of the literature that discusses the latter theories indicates that they do not settle the above-mentioned crucial problems. This issue supports the main results of this work.

We explore the possibility to form a physical theory in $C^4$. We argue that the expansion of our usual 4-d real space-time to a 4-d complex space-time, can serve us to describe geometrically electromagnetism and nuclear fields and unify it with gravity, in a different way that Kaluza-Klein theories do. Specifically, the electromagnetic field $A_\mu$, is included in the free geodesic equation of $C^4$. By embedding our usual 4-d real space-time in the symplectic 8-d real space-time (symplectic $R^8$ is algebraically isomorphic to $C^4$), we derive the usual geodesic equation of a charged particle in gravitational field, plus new information which is interpreted. Afterwards, we formulate and explore the extended special relativity and extended general relativity an $C^4$ or$R^8$. After embedding our usual 4-d space-time in $R^8$, two new phenomena rise naturally, that are interpreted as "dark matter" and "dark energy". A new cosmological model is presented, while the geometrical terms associated with "dark matter" and "dark energy" are investigated. Similarities, patterns and differences between "dark matter", "dark energy", ordinary matter and radiation are presented, where "dark energy" is a dynamic entity and "dark matter" reveal itself as a "mediator" betwen ordinary matter and "dark energy". Moreover, "dark matter" is deeply connected with "dark energy". Furthermore, the extended Hamilton-Jacobi equation of the extended space-time, is transformed naturally as an extended Klein-Gordon equation, in order to get in contact with quantum theories. By solving the Klein-Gordon equation analytically, we derive an eigenvalue for Higg's boson mass value at 125,173945 $Gev/c^{2}$. The extended Klein-Gordon equation, also connects Higg's boson (or vacuum) with Cosmology, due to the existence of our second "time" T (cosmological time), which serve us to connect quantum theories with Cosmology. Afterwards, in the general case, we explore the symmetries of the curved Hamilton-Jacobi equation locally, in order to investigate the consequences of a $C^4$ space-time in Standard Model. An extension to Standard Model is revealed, especially in the sector of strong nuclear field. The Stiefel manifold $SU(4)/SU(2)$ seems capable not only to describe the strong nuclear field but give us,as well, enough room to explore in the future, the possibility to explain quark confinment. Our extension, flavors firstly the unification of nuclear fields and afterwards the unification of nuclear fields with electromagnetic field. The desired grand unification, is achieved locally, through the symmetry group $GL(4,C)\simeq SO(4,4)\cap U(4)$ and we present a potential mechanism to reduce the existing particle numbers to just six. Afterwards,23 present the extended Dirac equation in $C^4$ space-time (Majorana-Weyl representation) plus a preliminary attempt to introduce a pure geometric structure for fermions. Finally, we consider a new geometric structure through n-linear forms in order to give geometric explanation for quantisation

We explore the possibility to nd the usual quantum theories, within the formulation of a classic theory of mechanics in C4. Specically, by releasing the end-point of the integral of the action derived in C4, we derive the dynamic path length of the geodesic equation in C4. In the at case, the derived Hamilton-Jacobi equations, were identied as the usual Klein-Gordon equation, where the complex functional action S(zi), is identied as the usual complex scalar field φ. Afterwards, we study the energy-momentum 4-d complexvector, in order to re-establish the usual covariant derivative of gauge theories.

This is a short version of a paper on the solution of a Fractional Dirac Equation (FDE). In this paper, we present two different techniques to obtain a new FDE. The first technique is based on a Fractional Variational Principle (FVP). For completeness and ease in the discussion to follow, we briefly describe the fractional Euler-Lagrange equations, and define a new Lagrangian Density Function to obtain the desired FDE. The second technique we define a new Fractional Klein-Gordon Equation (FKGE) in terms of fractional operators and fractional momenta, and use this equation to obtain the FDE. Our FDE could be of any order. We present eigensolutions for the FDE which are very similar to those for the regular Dirac equation. We give only a brief exposition of the topics here. An extended version of this work will be presented elsewhere.

We improve the previous study of the Klein–Gordon equation in a noncommutative space–time as applied to the hydrogen atom to extract the energy levels, by considering the second-order corrections in the noncommutativity parameter. Phenomenologically we show that noncommutativity is the source of Lamb shift corrections.

Both the location and the temperature of event horizons of evaporating black holes can be easily given if one proposes the Klein-Gordon equation approaches the standard form of wave equation near event horizons by using tortoise-type coordinates.

We study nonequilibrium processes of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) with relativistic charged Bose fields. The aim is to describe thermal equilibration, based on the Klein–Gordon equation for background coherent fields and the Kadanoff–Baym (KB) equation including the leading-order (LO) self-energy of the coupling expansion (the Hartree–Fock approximation). We introduce a gauge invariant relativistic kinetic entropy current at the first-order in the gradient expansion of the KB equation and we show the proof of the H-theorem in d + 1 dimensions (d = 1, 2, 3) in the presence of nonzero background coherent fields. Finally, we present numerical simulation in 1 + 1 dimensions and aim to investigate whether decoherence of the system occurs or not. We find that equilibrium states are realized with remaining background coherent charged Bose and photon fields by preparing distributions of incoherent charged particles asymmetrically in frequency mode as initial conditions in the KB equation even if LO self-energy is present.

AbstractWe investigate the integrability of Euler–Lagrange equations associated with 2D second-order Lagrangians of the form $$\begin{aligned} \int f(u_{xx},u_{xy},u_{yy})\ \mathrm{d}x\mathrm{d}y. \end{aligned}$$ ∫ f ( u xx , u xy , u yy ) d x d y . By deriving integrability conditions for the Lagrangian density f, examples of integrable Lagrangians expressible via elementary functions, Jacobi theta functions and dilogarithms are constructed. A link of second-order integrable Lagrangians to WDVV equations is established. Generalisations to 3D second-order integrable Lagrangians are also discussed.
