The Geometry of the Dirac Equation

Annalen der Physik, 1985
AbstractWe discuss the problem of the derivation and the interpretation of metric tensors and generalized equations of motion for test particles from quasilinear spinor equations.

THE LORENTZ–DIRAC EQUATION, I

Reviews in Mathematical Physics, 2000
The Lorentz–Dirac equation (LDE) [Formula: see text] models the point limit of the Maxwell–Lorentz equation describing the interaction of a charged extended particle with the electromagnetic field. Since (LDE) admits solutions which accelerate even if they are outside the zone of interaction, Dirac proposed to study so-called "non ...

Quaternionic Dirac equation

Physical Review D, 1990
The quaternionic generalization of the Dirac equation is investigated. From elementary considerations of unitarity and Lorentz invariance it is demonstrated that potentials with quaternionic parts are not consistent with representation independence. This result leads to the conclusion that either quaternionic quantum mechanics singles out a special ...

On Einstein-Dirac equations

TRU Mathematics, 1985
The author formulates a theory of gravity coupled to a Dirac field in which the fundamental fields are a spin structure and a Dirac field. The theory derives from a Lagrangian varied independently with respect to the Dirac field and the spin structure.

On the validity of the Lorentz–Dirac equation

Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 2002
Summary: Ten conserved quantities corresponding to the symmetry of the composite system of point-like charged particle and electromagnetic field under the Poincaré group are expressed in terms of particle variables. It is shown that the Lorentz-Dirac equation contradicts the differential consequence of the 'centre-of-mass' conserved quantity which ...

The Dirac Equation

2007
The purpose of this chapter is to introduce the Dirac equation, which will provide us with a basis for developing the relativistic quantum mechanics of electronic systems. Thus far we have reviewed some basic features of the classical relativistic theory, which is the foundation of relativistic quantum theory.

The Dirac Equation and the Dirac Field

1990
In Chap. 3 we discussed the theory of neutral mesons. Two elementary particles that frequently occur in Nature, the electron and the proton, are however particles which possess intrinsic angular momentum: spin = 1/2. Since a scalar field offers no opportunity for describing spin we must seek another description for these ...

The Dirac Equation

1973
The last chapter was devoted to showing that direct quantization of classical equations does not lead to a wave equation for the electron. We will now discuss the Dirac equation for the electron. Although much of this chapter will be concerned with its justification, it will be assumed from the outset that it is indeed appropriate to the electron to ...
