Fermion families, and chirality through extra dimensions
We give a simple model to explain the origin of fermion families, and chirality through the use of a domain wall placed in a five dimensional space-time.

Spinor representation of the general Lorentz group for spin 1/2 particles and CPT
We show that the attempt to introduce all of the discrete space-time transformations into the spinor representation of the Lorentz group as wholly independent transformations (as in the vectorial representation) leads to an 8-component spinor representation in general. The first indications seem to imply that CPT can be violated in this formulation without going outside of field theory. However one needs further study to reach a final conclusion.

Higgs field as the gauge field corresponding to parity in the usual space-time
We find that the local character of field theory requires the parity degree of freedom of the fields to be considered as an additional dicrete fifth dimension which is an artifact emerging due to the local description of space-time. Higgs field arises as the gauge field corresponding to this discrete dimension. Hence the noncommutative geometric derivation of the standard model follows as a manifestation of the local description of the usual space-time.
