Space-time structure and mass spectrum of elementary particles

Abstract

Experiments proving the violation of parity conservation have recently led to the assumption that the structure of the space-time continuum — in agreement with the modern philosophical concept of the space-time world as being determined by real physical interactions — may be anisotropic. In fact, this assumption can be also expressed by saying that the physical fields excited in such an anisotropic space have internal degrees of freedom. In this paper, first of all the derivation of the field equations is discussed for fermions, in particular considering second order equations. Then, it will be proved that a mass spectrum of elementary particles exists and based on a provisional Lagrangian of baryons the mass spectrum of the latter can be calculated in good agreement with the experiments. At the same time an interpretation is suggested of the strangeness and of the multiplicity of the different isodoublets.
