Welcome to my physics home page
My
research interests are in group theoretical methods
applied to problems in relativity and quantum mechanics
I hope that you enjoyed your summer vacation. Part of mine was spent attending QTS 7 in Prague. Here is a draft of the paper and talk (including an audio file) that I gave at the conference. If you have any comments, please send me mail or leave them on the facebook page.
- Abstract (pdf)
- Paper: (ArXiv) (pdf)
- Slide Presentation (pdf) (place in full screen mode (ctrl-l) for buildouts)
- Audio file for presentation (30 min) (mp3) (this file is large, just click to play directly on site.)
Noninertial Symmetry of Hamilton's Mechanics
The little paper that follows shows that we have missed a very basic symmetry of Hamilton's equations. Hamilton's equations are very old, and so this seems rather unlikely; check out the theorem.
Relativity implications of the quantum phase
Comments on draft book
The lecture notes for the PHY396T: Applications of Lie groups in relativistic and quantum physics graduate course that I taught in the fall semester of 2010 at the University of Texas at Austin are being turned into a book.
