Spin crossover: the quantum phase transition induced by high pressure
The relationship is established between the Berry phase and spin crossover in
condensed matter physics induced by high pressure. It is shown that the
geometric phase has topological origin and can be considered as the order
parameter for such transition.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Geometric phase shift for detection of gravitational radiation
An effect of geometrical phase shift is predicted for a light beam
propagating in the field of a gravitational wave. Gravitational radiation
detection experiments are proposed using this new effect, the corresponding
estimates being given.Comment: LaTeX2e, 12 p
Quasigroups, Asymptotic Symmetries and Conservation Laws in General Relativity
A new quasigroup approach to conservation laws in general relativity is
applied to study asymptotically flat at future null infinity spacetime. The
infinite-parametric Newman-Unti group of asymptotic symmetries is reduced to
the Poincar\'e quasigroup and the Noether charge associated with any element of
the Poincar\'e quasialgebra is defined. The integral conserved quantities of
energy-momentum and angular momentum are linear on generators of Poincar\'e
quasigroup, free of the supertranslation ambiguity, posess the flux and
identically equal to zero in Minkowski spacetime.Comment: RevTeX4, 5 page
Towards a new quantization of Dirac's monopole
There are several mathematical and physical reasons why Dirac's quantization
must hold. How far one can go without it remains an open problem. The present
work outlines a few steps in this direction.Comment: To appear in Proceedings of "IV Taller de la Division de Gravitacion

A non-associative quantum mechanics
A non-associative quantum mechanics is proposed in which the product of three
and more operators can be non-associative one. The multiplication rules of the
octonions define the multiplication rules of the corresponding operators with
quantum corrections. The self-consistency of the operator algebra is proved for
the product of three operators. Some properties of the non-associative quantum
mechanics are considered. It is proposed that some generalization of the
non-associative algebra of quantum operators can be helpful for understanding
of the algebra of field operators with a strong interaction.Comment: one typo in Eq. (23) is correcte
Smooth Loops and Fiber Bundles: Theory of Principal Q-bundles
A nonassociative generalization of the principal fiber bundles with a smooth
loop mapping on the fiber is presented. Our approach allows us to construct a
new kind of gauge theories that involve higher ''nonassociative'' symmetries.Comment: 20 page
Multi-step Fermi normal coordinates
We generalize the concept of Fermi normal coordinates adapted to a geodesic
to the case where the tangent space to the manifold at the base point is
decomposed into a direct product of an arbitrary number of subspaces, so that
we follow several geodesics in turn to find the point with given coordinates.
We compute the connection and the metric as integrals of the Riemann tensor. In
the case of one subspace (Riemann normal coordinates) or two subspaces, we
recover some results previously found by Nesterov, using somewhat different
techniques.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure
Magnetic monopoles with generalized quantization condition
Theory of pointlike magnetic monopole with an arbitrary magnetic charge is considered. It is shown that a proper description requires making use of nonunitary representations of the rotation group and the nonassociative generalization of the gauge group and fibre bundle theory
