Spin in two-dimensional fermion motion with circular symmetry
de Castro, A. S.
; (Proceedings of Science, 2021) [Trabalho apresentado em evento]
We study two-dimensional fermion motion with circular symmetry using both 3+1 and 2+1 Dirac equations with a general Lorentz structure. Using a different approach than usual, we fully develop the formalism for these equations ... -

Degeneracy pressure of mass dimension one fermionic fields and the dark matter halo of galaxies
Pereira, S. H. (International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2022) [Artigo]
In this paper, the recently proposed mass dimension one fermionic field is supposed to be responsible for the dark matter (DM) halo around galactic nuclei, through the quantum degeneracy pressure effect of the field. It ... -
Mass dimension one fermions: Constructing darkness
; Silva, Julio M. Hoff da; ; ; Pereira, Saulo H. ; (Physics Reports, 2022) [Resenha]
Let Θ be the Wigner time reversal operator for spin half and let ϕ be a Weyl spinor. Then, for a left-transforming ϕ, the construct ζλΘϕ∗ yields a right-transforming spinor. If instead, ϕ is a right-transforming spinor, ... -
Dark matter from torsion in Friedmann cosmology
