A gravitational theory of the μ-meson and leptons in general

Гра⇑итационная теория мю-мезонов и, вообще, лептонов

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

A gravitational theory of leptons is proposed in which the mass of the electron and that of the muon are the roots of a simple quadratic equation. This equation is obtained from the Reissner-Weyl metric for a charged particle by assuming that the gravitational constant suffers a sharp discontinuity at the surface of a particle, and by imposing the condition that dr/dt=0 along the null line ds=0.

Riassunto

Si propone una teoria gravitazionale dei leptoni, in cui la massa dell'elettrone e quella del muone sono le radici di una semplice equazione quadratica. Si ottiene quest'equazione dalla metrica di Reissner-Weyl per una particella carica, supponendo che la costante gravitazionale subisca una brusca discontinuità alla superficie di una particella, e imponendo la condizione dr/dt=0 lungo la linea nulla ds=0.

Резюме

Предлагается гравитационная теория леитонов, в кототой масы электрона и мюона представляют корни простого квадратного уравнения. Это уравнение получается из метрики Рейсснера-Вейля для заряженной частицы, в предположении, что гравитационная постоянная испытывает резкий скачок на поверхности частицы, и при наложении условия, что dr/dt=0 вдоль нулевой линии ds=0.
