GENERAL YANG-MILLS SYMMETRY [EPUB ebook] 
From Quark Confinement to an Antimatter Half-Universe

This monograph expounds on general Yang–Mills symmetry, a new symmetry based on arbitrary vector gauge functions and Hamilton’s characteristic phase functions in the gauge transformations of Abelian and non-Abelian groups. General Yang–Mills symmetry includes the conventional gauge symmetries as special cases and is useful for describing phenomena at scales ranging from the super-macroscopic such as dark matter, to the ultra-microscopic such as the quantum 3-body problem of baryons. Moreover, this symmetry supports the Broader Particle-Cosmology framework based on particle physics and quantum Yang–Mills gravity in flat space-time, which can explain why the gravitational force is always attractive. This volume also discusses how CPT invariance in particle physics suggests a 'Big Jets’ model for the birth of the universe, proposing one explanation for the dearth of anti-matter in our universe. Finally, we discuss a simplified quantum shell model for N baryons with a quark Hamiltonian and a Sonine–Laguerre equation that gives reasonable eigenvalues for the energies of the 29 N baryons.

Key Features:

• The book expounds a new idea that enables us to explore both microscopic quark confinement and the super-macroscopic accelerated cosmic expansion due to ubiquitous baryon charges


• The idea can be applied to generalize the original Lee–Yang U(1) symmetry for baryon charges to obtain a new linear force. Although extremely weak, this force can overcome the gravitational force at large enough spatial separations and enables us to understand the late-time cosmic accelerated expansion without assuming a new dark energy


• The linear force also helps to understand a new picture of the universe consisting of a matter half-universe and an antimatter half-universe, as suggested by CPT invariance
