Algebraic description of external and internal attributes of fundamental fermions

Abstract

To describe external and internal attributes of fundamental fermions, a theory of multi-spinor fields is developed on an algebra, a {\it triplet algebra}, which consists of all the triple-direct-products of Dirac \gamma-matrices. The triplet algebra is decomposed into the product of two subalgebras, an external algebra and an internal algebra, which are exclusively related with external and internal characteristic of the multi-spinor field named {\it triplet fields}. All elements of the external algebra which is isomorphic to the original Dirac algebra $A_\gamma$ are invariant under the action of permutation group $S_3$ which works to exchange the order of the $A_\gamma$ elements in the triple-direct-product. The internal algebra is decomposed into the product of two $4^2$ dimensional algebras, called the family and color algebras, which describe the family and color degrees of freedom. The family and color algebras have fine substructures with "trio plus solo" conformations which are irreducible under the action of $S_3$. The triplet field has trio plus solo family modes with ordinary tricolor quark and colorless solo lepton components. To incorporate the Weinberg-Salam mechanism, it is required to introduce two types of triplet fields, a left-handed doublet and right-handed singlets of electroweak iso-spin. It is possible to qualify the Yukawa interaction and to make a new interpretation of its coupling constants naturally in an intrinsic mechanism of the triplet field formalism. The ordinary Higgs mechanism leads to a new type of the Dirac mass matrices which can explain all data of quark sector within experimental accuracy.

Axionic Wormholes in Metric-Affine Gravity

The axion is a promising candidate for solving the strong CP problem. To solve this problem, the global U(1) symmetry must be preserved to a high degree of accuracy. However, it is well known that global symmetries are explicitly violated by quantum gravity effects, giving rise to what is referred to as the axion quality problem. In this paper, we investigate axionic wormholes as a source of explicit U(1) violation in Metric-Affine Gravity. This framework allows for spacetime torsion and non-metricity, which accommodate additional curvature-like and topological terms, such as the Holst and Nieh--Yan terms, that are absent from the metric and Palatini formalisms. We show that non-minimal couplings to these terms modify the wormhole dynamics and enhance the Euclidean wormhole action, thereby alleviating the axion quality problem. We also find that the viable parameter space is enlarged when two of these couplings are simultaneously present. We further identify representative parameter regions where the alleviation of the axion quality problem is compatible with inflationary constraints.

Qubit-Qutrit Quantum Tomography of hadronic $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{\ast 0}$ systems

Quantum-information observables have emerged in recent years as new tools in nuclear and particle physics, from entanglement in top-quark pairs to spin correlations in $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ production. Extending these studies to unequal-spin hadronic final states poses a fundamental challenge: the $6\times6$ density matrix of a qubit-qutrit system contains 35 independent spin parameters, but the decays of $\Lambda V$ pairs, with $V=\phi$ or $K^{*0}$, provide access to only 23 due to the hidden vector polarization from the strong decay. In this Letter, we formulate a qubit-qutrit quantum tomography (QQQT) technique for these spin-$\tfrac{1}{2}\otimes1$ systems and establish exact criteria for entanglement certification from the \textit{incomplete} density matrix. Compared with the $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ system, QQQT of $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{*0}$ provides a new probe of nonperturbative QCD hadronization, enabling a direct comparison of the spin evolution of entangled quark pairs produced from the vacuum as they hadronize into a baryon or a vector meson.

Twist decomposition of exclusive heavy meson production cross sections

We study the twist decomposition of the total cross sections for exclusive heavy vector meson electroproduction and photoproduction in the $\gamma^\ast p$ processes, within the leading logarithmic $1/x$ BFKL formalism. The Mellin transforms of the impact factors of the vector meson are calculated. We show that the higher twist contributions are strongly suppressed in the low-$x$ kinematical regime. Possible enhancement of the higher twists effects for nuclei targets is discussed.
