Fractional Particle with Fractional First Derivatives

In this paper, we introduce a new classical fractional particle model incorporating fractional first derivatives. This model represents a natural extension of the standard classical particle with kinetic energy being quadratic in fractional first derivatives and fractional linear momenta, similarly to classical mechanics. We derive the corresponding equations of motion and explore the symmetries of the model. Also, we present the formulation in terms of fractional potentials. Two important examples are analytically solved: the free particle and the particle subjected to generalized forces characterized by fractional first derivatives.

Spontaneous parity breaking and fermion masses

We present a SU(2)_L * SU(2)_R * U(1) left-right symmetric model for elementary particles and their connection with the fermion mass spectrum. New mirror fermions and a minimal set of Higgs particles are proposed. The model can accommodate a consistent pattern for charged and neutral fermion masses as well as neutrino oscillations. The connection between the left and right sectors can be done by the neutral vector gauge boson Z and a new heavy Z'.

Fermion masses in a model for spontaneous parity breaking

In this paper we discuss a left-right symmetric model for elementary particles and their connection with the mass spectrum of elementary fermions. The model is based on the group $SU(2)_L\otimes SU(2)_R\otimes U(1)$. New mirror fermions and a minimal set of Higgs particles that breaks the symmetry down to $U(1)_{em}$ are proposed. The model can accommodate a consistent pattern for charged and neutral fermion masses as well as neutrino oscillations. An important consequence of the model is that the connection between the left and right sectors can be done by the neutral vector gauge bosons Z and a new heavy Z'.
