The group structure bases of a foundational approach to physics

Based on a fundamental symmetry between space, time, mass and charge, a series of group structures of physical interest is generated, ranging from C2 to E8. The most significant result of this analysis is a version of the Dirac equation combining quaternions and multivariate vectors, which is already second quantized and intrinsically supersymmetric, and which automatically leads to a symmetry breaking, with the creation of specific particle structures and a mass-generating mechanism.

QED using the nilpotent formalism

The nilpotent formalism for the Dirac equation, outlined in previous papers,is applied to QED. It is shown that what is usually described as 'renormalization' is effectively a statement of the fact that the nilpotent formulation is automatically second quantized and constrains the field into producing finite values for fundamental quantities.

The Dirac algebra and grand unification

A representation of the Dirac algebra, derived from first principles, can be related to the combinations of unit charges which determine particle structures. The algebraic structure derives from a broken symmetry between 4-vectors and quaternions which can be applied to the broken symmetry between the three nongravitational interactions. The significance of this relation for Grand Unification is derived by explicit calculation of the running values of the fine structure constants, with suggestions for the calculation of particle masses.

Applications of the nilpotent Dirac state vector

The nilpotent version of the Dirac equation is applied to the baryon wavefunction, the strong interaction potential, electroweak mixing, and Dirac and Klein-Gordon propagators. The results are used to interpret a quaternion-vector model of particle structures.
