Y9.00001: Higgs-free derivation of gauge boson masses using complex dynamics of Levy flights Ervin Goldfain Gauge bosons are fundamental spin-1 fields that mediate the electroweak interaction of quarks and leptons. The physical mechanism explaining how gauge bosons acquire mass is neither definitively settled nor universally accepted and several theories coexist. The prevailing paradigm is that boson masses arise by coupling to a hypothetical scalar field called the Higgs boson. As of today, experimental evidence supporting the existence of the Higgs boson is missing. We discuss a Higgs-free derivation of gauge boson masses that is formulated on the basis of complexity theory. The key premise of our model is that the dynamics of boson field may be described as a stochastic process at the energy scale of the electroweak interaction. It is found that, if this process is driven by Levy statistics, mass generation in the electroweak sector can be naturally accounted for. Theoretical predictions are shown to agree well with experimental data. [Preview Abstract] |

Y9.00002: Topology of Electroweak QDMs Dillon Scofield Quantum dynamical manifolds (QDMs) are solutions of the quantum dynamical manifold equations (QDMEs) describing mass-spacetimes having specified internal color, gauge, and flavor symmetry. The electron momentum-space manifold ($k$-space representation of the color Lie algebra $su(2)$ QDM) is topologically orientable, being topologically equivalent to an $S^{2}$-sphere, and the photon $k$-space manifolds are not orientable being equivalent to a Klein bottle, $K^{2}$. A \textquotedblleft new\textquotedblright\ kind of particle having non vanishing mass-parameter is found. As this parameter vanishes it represents the Dirac neutrino. Because of the dimension of the color algebra is three, when including many-body spacetime effects, there are \textit{exactly} three leptons and lepton neutrinos. By examining the topology of the new neutrino solutions in $k$-space, an argument for the existence of only left-handed neutrinos is found. These neutrino manifolds are topologically equivalent to the 2D projective space, $\mathbb{R}$P$^{2}$. Tentative vector boson $(W^{+},Z^{0}(% \bar{Z}^{0}),W^{-})$ solutions to 3D $su(2)$ representation color algebra symmetric, 3D $SU(2)$ representation flavor group symmetric QDMEs contain the $T^{2}$ torus manifold. Together the electrons ($S^{2}$), neutrinos ($% \mathbb{R}$P$^{2}: S^{2}\#\mathbb{R}$P$^{2})$, photons ($ % K^{2}: S^{2}\#\mathbb{R}$P$^{2}\#\mathbb{R}$P$^{2})$ and the vector bosons ($T^{2}$) form a topological semigroup ($S^{2}$, $T^{2}$% , $\mathbb{R}$P$^{2}$, $\#$) under the topological connected sum ($% \#$). Thus $k$-space representations of electroweak particles can be joined describing interacting electroweak manifolds. [Preview Abstract] |

Y9.00003: Tquark-Higgs-Vacuum Energy Levels: 130; 173; 225 GeV Frank Smith Truth Quark interacts with Higgs and Vacuum to get two excited energy levels above ground state at 130 GeV: 173 GeV excited state due to Planck energy vacuum above the 252 GeV Standard Model vacuum; and 225 GeV excited state at Vacuum Stability Critical Point. 130 GeV ground state was predicted by calculations in a theoretical model based on Cl(8) Clifford algebra using: geometry of D4 Lie Algebra and Symmetric Spaces D5/D4xU(1) and E6/D5xU(1) and related Shilov Boundaries; plus combinatorial relations. The model allows further calculations: Mnu1 0; Me 0.5110 MeV; Md and Mu 312.8 MeV; Mnu2 0.009 ev; Mmu 104.8 MeV; Ms 625 MeV; Mc 2.09 GeV; Mnu3 0.054 eV; Mb 5.63 GeV; W+ mass and W- mass 80.326 GeV; Z0 mass 91.862 GeV; Higgs mass 145.8 GeV; neutron-proton and UCC-DCC baryon mass differences; and of force strengths, neutrino mixing and K-M paramenters.

Y9.00004: Virtual Universe {\&} Its Interface to Physical Universe Pal Asija This paper postulates a virtual universe and compares and contrasts its properties to that of our known physical universe. A particular attention is paid to the interface between the two and challenges for transition from one to the other. Also discussed is the relationship of the virtual universe to such entities and concepts as dark matter, black holes, time travel, speed of light, mass, gravity just to name just a few. The paper also discusses interface between us physical beings and temporary virtual beings and eventually ultra beings. It also tangentially discusses relationship between body, brain, mind of physical beings with that of virtual and ultra beings. The paper also discusses why virtual beings do not have the same limitations and capabilities as we do. The past, present, elsewhere and potential of physical and virtual universes is compared. Finally possible pathways to discovery of TOE (Theory of Everything) is hypothesized. [Preview Abstract] |

Y9.00005: Origin of Mass. Prediction of Mass Per Newton-Maxwell Solution* P-I. Johansson, J.X. Zheng-Johansson %___Symbol Definition:___ \def\w{\omega}\def\eng{\in}\def\g{\gamma}\def\W{{\mit \Omega}} \def\Lam{{\mit\Lambda}}\def\lam{\lambda} %___ABSTRACT:___ We call as by our particle formation scheme an oscillatory charge $e$ (or $-e$) together with the electromagnetic waves generated by it as a whole a basic particle. As a direct Newton- Maxwell solution we obtain for the particle's component wave- trains, of an angular frequency $\w$ and traveling at the velocity of light $c$, a translational kinetic energy $\eng=mc^2 $ and alternatively an oscillatory mechanical energy $\eng=\hbar^*\w$. $\eng$ amounts just to the particle's total energy and $m$ its inertial mass; $2\pi \hbar^*$ is expressed by wave-medium parameters and equal to the Planck constant. We further obtain the particle's (semi-empirical) de Broglie wave frequency $\w_d=\g \W (v/c)^2$, and wavelength $\lam_d=(2\pi/\w) v=(\Lam/\g)(c/v)$, etc., where $\g=1/\sqrt{1-(v/c)^2}$, $\g\W= \w$ and $\Lam/\g=\lam=(2\pi/w)c$. As to its origin, $mc^2$ represents an energy required for the particle to counterbalance a vacuum frictional force against the particle's total motion. Our proposal for origin of mass is in conformity with Higgs mechanism, but we work in real-space whilst Higgs in momentum- space. By our solution, to break up a building block of the vacuum--a bound p- and n-vaculeons of charges +e,-e, requires an energy $\sim 2 \times 10^{16}$ GeV, the scale of a Planck mass. \quad $*$Refs: J.X.

Y9.00006: A Focus on the Quantum Source of Gravity Shantilal Goradia If Newtonian gravitation is modified to use surface-to-surface separation between particles, it can have the strength of strong force coupling constant between nucleons, one Planck length apart [1,2]. All particles may be emitting 1/r propagation of graviton flux through their quantum mouths. My profound proposal is consistent with holographic principle, uncertainty principle, inflationary universe, some views of Einstein, Feynman, Rutherford, variations of coupling constants, and other observations. It asks the same question as does Hawking [3]. My theory resolves renormalization issue. It explains short range of strong force as a difference, potentially clearing the uncertainty question. I notice one inconsistency: it may imply that spin-zero pions push nucleons apart, not pull them together. I predict they do. This prediction resolves the instability issue of the nucleus addressed in [4]. [1] S. G. Goradia, physics/0210040.

Y9.00007: Suppressed Neutrino Emission Charles Gallo ``Stimulated Emission of Electromagnetic Radiation'' is a very well known phenomenon. However, neutrinos undergo the inverse phenomena of ``Suppressed Emission of Neutrino Radiation.'' The reason for the inverse phenomena between photons and neutrinos is their difference in statistical behavior. Photons are Bosons (with spin = h/2pi), while Neutrinos are Fermions (with spin = h/4pi). Multiple photons can occupy the same quantized energy state (and exhibit coherent behavior) while neutrinos can not. The emission of photons is Stimulated by the presence of other photons, while the emission of neutrinos is Suppressed by the presence of other neutrinos. This reduces the lifetime of photon excited states, but lengthens the lifetime of neutrino excited states. The related concepts of ``Neutrino Redshifts'' and ``Blackbody Neutrino Radiators'' will have important applications in astrophysics. [Preview Abstract] |

Y9.00008: How false vacuum synthesis of a universe sets initial conditions which permit the onset of variations of a nucleation rate per Hubble volume per Hubble time Andrew Beckwith Using Bogomil'nyi inequality and the vanishing of topological charge at the onset of nucleation of a new universe permits a simpler, more direct insight into how topological defects (kinks and anti kinks) contribute to initial conditions at the onset of inflationary cosmology . Currently, there are few bridges between initial conditions for cosmological inflation and the nucleation of a new universe. This presentation shows how this can be done while still employing Venezianos prescription for forming a link between quanta of length, the magnitude of a dilaton field $\phi$ and forces gravitational and gauge alike.

Y9.00009: Lorentz Covariance of the Maxwell Equations Rollin S. Armour, Jr., Jose L. Balduz, Jr. We seek all linear transformations of the Maxwell variables and spacetime coordinates that leave Maxwell's equations form-invariant. Form-invariance forces coordinate transformations to leave the Minkowski interval invariant allowing five different four-dimensional Lorentz spacetimes, one real and four complex, corresponding to coordinate transformations under the (1/2,1/2), (0,0)+(0,1), (0,0)+(1,0), (1/2,0)+(1/2,0), and (0,1/2)+(0,1/2) representations of the Lorentz group. In each spacetime, Maxwell's equations remain covariant under at least \emph{two different} Lorentz transformation rules for the Maxwell variables, with charge invariance, gauge invariance, and a covariant Lorentz four-force accompanying at least one of these rules. (In four-vector spacetime, the second rule is \emph{spin-1/2}. See Found. Phys. {\bf 34}, 815, 2004.) The Maxwell Lagrangian density is the same in every case, and primary field invariants are always formed with the Minkowski metric, yielding a common set of Maxwell invariants and conservation laws under every Lorentz transformation of the Maxwell variables in all five Lorentz spacetimes.
