$\mathcal{N}=2$ susy hypermultiplet self-CPT?
Is the multiplet given by
$$\left( -\frac12,0,0,\frac12 \right)$$
self-CPT conjugate?
There seems to be no common agreement upon that:
Weinberg (QFT 3, page 47) and many others claim it is not, ...

Does the Higgs mechanism address the spin statistics problem?
Since the Higgs mechanism is so intimately tied to binding together massless chiral fermions, does it happen to have anything to say about the spin statistics issue?
I'm actually assuming the answer ...

Do any good theories exist on why the weak interaction is so profoundly chiral?
I find the profound asymmetry in the sensitivity of left and right chiral particles to be one of the most remarkable analytical observations captured in the Standard Model. Yet for some, I've not ...

Charge conjugation in Dirac equation
According to Dirac equation we can write,
\begin{equation}
\left(i\gamma^\mu( \partial_\mu +ie A_\mu)- m \right)\psi(x,t) = 0
\end{equation}
We seek an equation where $e\rightarrow -e $ and which ...

CPT Violation and Symmetry / Conservation Laws
Ok, so I remember reading that every conservation law has a corresponding symmetry (i.e. conservation of momentum is translational symmetry, conservation of angular momentum is rotational symmetry).

Charge conjugation in Dirac equation
I need to know the mathematical argument that how the relation is true $(C^{-1})^T\gamma ^ \mu C^T = - \gamma ^{\mu T} $ .
Where $C$ is defined by $U=C \gamma^0$ ; $U$= non singular matrix , $T$= ...

could he set some experiments to see if he is made of matter or if he is made of ...

What makes *electric* charge special (wrt. CPT theorem)?
I'm wondering why the 'C' in CPT - charge conjugation - refers specifically to electric charge. Of course you could say that C is just defined as $e^+ \leftrightarrow e^-$... but there has to be ...

Can the CPT theorem be valid if Lorentz invariance is only spontaneously broken?
Earlier, I asked here whether one can have spontaneous breaking of the Lorentz symmetry and was shown a Lorentz invariant term that can drive the vacuum to not be Lorentz invariant. How relaxed are ...
