GRANTS FOR INNOVATIVE RESEARCH ON IRREVERSIBILITY(unsubscribe link at bottom)
The Italian-American physicist Ruggero Maria Santilli (see links for his curriculum, prizes and nominations, and scientific discoveries in http://www.santilli-foundation.org) proved the following:
THEOREM: A macroscopic process that is irreversible over time cannot be consistencly decomposed into a finite number of elementary particles all reversible over time and, vice versa, a finite number of elementary particles all reversible over time cannot yield a macroscopic irreversible process under the correspondence or any other principle.
The above theorem establishes that, rather than "disappearing," irreversibility originates at the most elementary level of nature, that of elementary particles, not when moving in vacuum, but when in interior dynamical conditions (extended particles or wavepackets moving within a physical medium). Hence, the above theorem reaffirms the validity of the true Lagrange's and Hamilton's equations, those with external terms, as the general dynamical equations, the truncated Lagrange's and Hamilton's equations, those without external terms of widespread use in the 20th century, being a particular case solely valid for exterior dynamical conditions (point particles mpving in empty space).
Following half a century of mathematical, physical, chemical, experimental and industrial research, Santilli has provided experimental verifications of the above theorem, by essentially confirming the exact validity of special relativity in vacuum as conceived by Einstein, but establishing that physical media cause interactions not representable with a Lagrangian or a Hamiltonian that are treatable via generalized Minkowskian spacetimes with expected structural revisions in astronomy and all quantitative sciences.
Experimental verifications of isoredshift with possible absence of universe expansion, big bang, dark matter and dark energy,
Our Foundation is current funding with priority the repetition within physical media of the historical experiments that established the validity of special relativity in vacuum, beginning with the repetition completely underwater of the Fizeau experiment, and then passing to other tests. Qualified scholars from any country are welcome to participate.
The primary objective for all the research indicated in this announcement is to seek much needed new clean energies and fuels. Santilli's argument is that all energy releasing processes are irreversible over time, thus requiring irreversible methods for their consistent quantitative treatment. The notorious reversibility over time of special relativity and quantum mechanics left no other choice than that of seeking irreversible coverings,
Santilli initiated his scientific journey during the undergraduate studies at the University of Naples and graduate studies at thje University of Torino, Italy, during which he studied Lagrange's original works in Italian, saw Lagrange's impossibility of representing the entire universe with a single function today called the Lagrangian, and decided to dedicate his research life to quantitative studies ot interior dynamical problems (dynamics of extended particles and elm waves moving within physical media), that include irreversibility as one of their numerous features beyond the representational capability of special relativity and quantum mechanics.
The first major problem encountered by Santilli was that the brackets (A, H, F) of the time evolution of Hamilton's equation with external terms for an observable A
not only violate all Lie algebras, but they violate the conditions to characterize any algebra. Hence, he looked for a generalization of the Lie product [A, B] = AB - BA that, to represent irreversibility, should break the invariance of the Lie-product under time reversal (characterized by invariance under anti-Hermiticity), thus not being antisymmetric (or symmetric), while verifying the conditions to characterize an algebra.
Along these lines, Santilli proposed in 1967 [1] the first known deformation of the Lie product into the form (A, B) = pAB - qBA, where p, q, and p+/- q are fixed non-null scalars, and showed that the new product is jointly Lie-admissible and Jordan-admissible in the sense of Albert, i.e., the attached antisymmetric brackets [A,B] = (AB) - (BA) and the attached symmetric brackets {A, B} = (A, B) _+ (B. A) are Lie and Jordan, respectively. In various papers related to his Ph. D. work, Santilli then introduced the following parametric deformation (he called lifting) of Heisenberg's equations in their infinitesimal and finite forms
After moving to the USA with his family in summer 1967, Santilli abandoned the field for a decade because Lie-admissible and Jordan-admissible algebras were unknown in the pure mathematics of the time, let alone physics. After joining the Department of Mathematics of Harvard University in 1978 under DOE contracts ER-78-S-02-47420.A000, AS02-78ER04742, DE-ACO2-80ER10651, Santilli resumed his studies on irreversibility and proposed in 1978 the following general Lie-admissible deformation - lifting of Heisenberg equations also in their infinitesimal and finite forms
with corresponding general deformations of Schroedinger's equations for backward and forward motion, respectively,
where now R, S and R +/- S are fixed nonsingular and nonsymmetric matrices, with interconnecting conjugation c
e.g., c is given by given by transposed (or Hermitian conjugation) and the product (A, B)* is also jointly Lie-admissible and Jordan-admissible, although in a generalized way (of isotopic character per our Second Announcement http://www.santilli-foundation.org/Announcment-2.html
Also in his original works of 1978, Santilli proved that the classical image of Eqs. (3) does indeed represent Lagrange and Hamilton external terms thus assuring irreversibility ab initio, e.g., from the nonsymmetric character of the R and S matrices; set the foundations of the Lie-admissible covering of Lie's theory still valid today; and proposed Eqs. (3)-(5) at the foundation of the irreversible Lie-admissible branch of hadronic mechanics [3,23], subsequently extended to hadronic chemistry [9]. The case R = S = T characterizes the generally reversible isotopic branch of hadronic mechanics and chemistry of our Second Announcement with H and T representing potential and nonpotential interactions, respectively.
The above proposal received a rather vast attention with contributions from numerous mathematicians, physicists and chemists from various countries that, in the past three decades, saw five Workshops on Lie-admissible Formulations, eighteen Worshops on Hadronic Mechanics and two International Conferences in Lie-admissible formulations, resulting in thousanbds papers, some 30 or so monographs, and about 60 volumes of proceedings for over 20,000 pages of research published in refereed conduits in all developed countries.
A most salient aspect is the identification by Santilli in the 1980s of the fact that both generalized time evolutions (2) and (3) are nonunitary, thus verifying the Theorems of Catastrophic Mathematical and Physical Inconsistencies of Noncanonical and Nonunitary Theories [6] (for reviews, Section 1.5. Vol. I of Ref. [23] or Section 3.9 of Ref. [24]).
The resolution of these inconsistencies required major efforts conducted over decades, and produced a basically new mathematics with a bimodular structure and inequivalent mathematical orderings to the right and to the left (physically interpreted as forward and backward in time), which is today known as genomathematics, the prefix "geno" being used to induce new axioms (as compared to the prefix "iso" in our Second Announcements).
Santilli's most salient contributions to date include: the discovery in 1993 [2] of his genonumbers that incorporate a time ordering in the basic unit and multiplications while (quite remarkably) verifying the axioms of a numerical field; the discovery of genofunctional analysis, genodifferential calculus and genogeometries in monographs [3] of 1995 and memoir [4] of 1996 that signed the achievement of a preliminary, yet sufficient mathematical maturity; the first achievement [5] known to us of a time invariant formulation of the most general possible Lie-admissible deformations on genospaces over genofields that bypasses the inconsistency theorems; the most general available formulation of the Lie-admissible theory in memoir [6] of 2006); the first application [7] known to us of Lie-admissible formulation to a basically new, clean "intermediate controlled fusions [7] for which most of the studies were conducted; the construction of the isoscattering and genoscatteringh theories [8] for irreversibnle scattering events; and the first known application [9] known to us of Lie-admissible hadronic chemistry to irreversible chemical reactions that alllowed the disocvery of the new chemical species of Santilli magnecules realized in the clean burning magnegas now in production and sale by publicly listed companies the world over (see www.magnegas.com).

RESEARCH GRANTS
Mathematics: The Lie-admissible invariant genomathematics has been primarily developed by physicists for physical needs. Most mathematical treatments of Lie-admissible algebnras are on conventional spaces over conventional fields [14,15] thus requiring a reformulation on genospaces over genofields or another invariant reformulation to be used in physics. Numerous fundamental mathematical problems also exist, such as the construction of irreversible geometries for interior gravitational problems iniziated in Refs. [4,6], such as nonsymmetric deformations of Riemannian metrics on genofields to embed irreversibility ab initio; the completion of the construction of the Lie-admissible covering of the Lie-Santilli isotheory [16-18] initiztated in Refs. [3,4,6]; construction of the Lie-admissible covering of Ganfornina-Nunez isotopolofy [18]; and other open mathematical problems.
Physics: Santilli Lie-admissible liftings of classical and operator Hamiltonian mechanics are directly compatible with thermodynamics [13]. Additional studies in this important field are encouraged. Further Lie-admissible studies on interior dynamical problems are also encouraged. including an an irreversible formulation of particle physics, beginning with the completion and application of the Lie-admissible lifting genoscattering theory of Refs. [8]; and other intriguing open problems.
Chemistry: Chemical reactions are notoriously irreversible over time. To prevent violations of causality and other basic laws by the notoriously reversible quantum chemistry, it is important to achieve a consistent irreversible formulation of chemical reactions via the Lie-admissible branch of hadronic chemistry [9]. Lie-admissible treatments of the irreversible formation of the new chemical species of Santilli magnecules [loc. cit.] are also welcome.
Engineering: While nuclear fission can be described via quantum mechanics with good approximation, nuclear fusions are structurally irreversible and their treatment via the notoriously reversible quantum mechanics leads to known inconsistencies. Studies on the engineering realization of hadronic laws for nuclear syntheses [7] are welcome jointly with other irreversible projects.
