DOI: 10.1007/s11182-018-1545-9
Abstract: Consequences of the non-Hermitian expansion of the Dirac equation in which the mass term is written in the form m → m1 + γ5m2 are considered. It is shown that such procedure inevitably leads to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/ncomms15529
Abstract: The Einstein equivalence principle (EEP) has a central role in the understanding of gravity and space–time. In its weak form, or weak equivalence principle (WEP), it directly implies equivalence between inertial and gravitational mass. Verifying… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevd.95.103004
Abstract: Einstein's weak equivalence principle (WEP) states that any freely falling, uncharged test particle follows the same identical trajectory independent of its internal structure and composition. Since the polarization of a photon is considered to be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevd.98.035018
Abstract: In this paper, we obtain a nonrelativistic Hamiltonian from the Lorentz-violating (LV) scalar Lagrangian in the minimal SME. The Hamiltonian is obtained by two different methods. One is through the usual ansatz $\Phi(t,\vec{r})=e^{-imt}\Psi(t,\vec{r})$ applied to… read more here.
