In the current version of QCD the quarks are described by ordinary Dirac fields, organized in the following internal symmetry multiplets: the $SU(3)$ colour, the $SU(2)$ flavour, and broken $SU(3)$ providing the family triplets. oindent In this paper we argue that internal and external (i.e. space-time) symmetries are entangled at least in the colour sector in order to introduce the spinorial quark fields in a way providing all the internal quarks degrees of freedom which do appear in the Standard Model. Because the $SU(3)$ colour algebra is endowed with natural $Z_3$-graded discrete automorphisms, in order to introduce entanglement the $Z_3$-graded version of Lorentz and Poincare algebras with their realizations are considered. The colour multiplets of quarks are described by $12$-component colour Dirac equations, with a $Z_3$-graded triplet of masses (one real and a Lee-Wick complex conjugate pair). We argue that all quarks in the Standard Model can be described by the $72$-component master quark sextet of $12$-component coloured Dirac fields.
We investigate certain $Z_3$-graded associative algebras with cubic $Z_3$-invariant constitutive relations. The invariant forms on finite algebras of this type are given in the low dimensional cases with two or three generators. We show how the Lorentz symmetry represented by the $SL(2, {bf C})$ group emerges naturally without any notion of Minkowskian metric, just as the invariance group of the $Z_3$-graded cubic algebra and its constitutive relations. Its representation is found in terms of Pauli matrices. The relationship of this construction with the operators defining quark states is also considered, and a third-order analogue of the Klein-Gordon equation is introduced. Cubic products of its solutions may provide the basis for the familiar wave functions satisfying Dirac and Klein-Gordon equations.
We propose a modification of standard QCD description of the colour triplet of quarks describing quark fields endowed with colour degree of freedom by introducing a 12-component colour generalization of Dirac spinor, with built-in Z_3 grading playing an important algebraic role in quark confinement. In colour Dirac equations the SU(3) colour symmetry is entangled with the Z_3-graded generalization of Lorentz symmetry, containing three 6-parameter sectors related by Z_3 maps. The generalized Lorentz covariance requires simultaneous presence of 24 colour Dirac multiplets, which lead to the description of all internal symmetries of quarks: besides SU(3) times SU(2) times U(1), the flavour symmetries and three quark families.
Colour $SU(3)$ group is an exact symmetry of Quantum Chromodynamics, which describes strong interactions between quarks and gluons. Supplemented by two internal symmetries, $SU(2)$ and $U(1)$, it serves as the internal symmetry of the Standard Model, describing as well the electroweak interactions of quarks and leptons. The colour$SU(3)$ symmetry is exact, while two other symmetries are broken by means of the Higgs-Kibble mechanism. The three colours and fractional quarks charges with values $1/3$ and $2/3$ suggest that the cyclic group $Z_3$ may play a crucial role in quark field dynamics. In this paper we consequently apply the $Z_3$ symmetry to field multiplets describing colour quark fields. Generalized Dirac equation for coloured $12$-component spinors is introduced and its properties are discussed. Imposing $Z_3$-graded Lorentz and Poincare covariance leads to enlargement of quark fields multiplets and incorporates additional $Z_2 times Z_3$ symmetry which leads to the appearance of three generations (families) of distinct quark doublets.
We show that the Lorentz and the SU(3) groups can be derived from the covariance principle conserving a $Z_3$-graded three-form on a $Z_3$-graded cubic algebra representing quarks endowed with non-standard commutation laws.
We construct firstly the complete list of five quantum deformations of $D=4$ complex homogeneous orthogonal Lie algebra $mathfrak{o}(4;mathbb{C})cong mathfrak{o}(3;mathbb{C})oplus mathfrak{o}(3;mathbb{C})$, describing quantum rotational symmetry of four-dimensional complex space-time, in particular we provide the corresponding universal quantum $R$-matrices. Further applying four possible reality conditions we obtain all sixteen Hopf-algebraic quantum deformations for the real forms of $mathfrak{o}(4;mathbb{C})$: Euclidean $mathfrak{o}(4)$, Lorentz $mathfrak{o}(3,1)$, Kleinian $mathfrak{o}(2,2)$ and quaternionic $mathfrak{o}^{star}(4)$. For $mathfrak{o}(3,1)$ we only recall well-known results obtained previously by the authors, but for other real Lie algebras (Euclidean, Kleinian, quaternionic) as well as for the complex Lie algebra $mathfrak{o}(4;mathbb{C})$ we present new results.
