Bound states of the Dirac equation on Kerr spacetime [PDF]
We formulate the Dirac equation for a massive neutral spin-half particle on a rotating black hole spacetime, and we consider its (quasi)bound states: gravitationally-trapped modes which are regular across the future event horizon.

Dirac equation and the Melvin metric [PDF]
A relativistic wave equation for spin 1/2 particles in the Melvin space-time, a space-time where the metric is determined by a magnetic field, is obtained. The energy levels for these particles are obtained as functions of the magnetic field and compared

Lorentz Invariance Violation and Modified Hawking Fermions Tunneling Radiation
Recently the modified Dirac equation with Lorentz invariance violation has been proposed, which would be helpful to resolve some issues in quantum gravity theory and high energy physics.

Lorentz covariance of optical Dirac equation and spinorial photon field
In a recent paper (2014 New J. Phys. 16 093008) Barnett discussed the so-called optical Dirac equation and referred to the involved wave function as a spinor. But as he claimed explicitly, he did not really associate that wave function with a true spinor.

Formal Analogy between the Dirac Equation in Its Majorana Form and the Discrete-Velocity Version of the Boltzmann Kinetic Equation [PDF]
We point out a formal analogy between the Dirac equation in Majorana form and the discrete-velocity version of the Boltzmann kinetic equation. By a systematic analysis based on the theory of operator splitting, this analogy is shown to turn into a ...

Characterization of the non-homogenous Dirac-harmonic equation
We introduce the non-homogeneous Dirac-harmonic equation for differential forms and characterize the basic properties of solutions to this new type of differential equations, including the norm estimates and the convergency of sequences of the solutions.

Testing the Dirac Equation [PDF]
The dynamical equations which are basic for the description of the dynamics of quantum felds in arbitrary space--time geometries, can be derived from the requirements of a unique deterministic evolution of the quantum fields, the superposition principle, a finite propagation speed, and probability conservation.

The massive Dirac equation in Kerr geometry: separability in Eddington–Finkelstein-type coordinates and asymptotics [PDF]
The separability of the massive Dirac equation in the non-extreme Kerr geometry in horizon-penetrating advanced Eddington–Finkelstein-type coordinates is shown. To this end, Kerr geometry is described by a Carter tetrad and the Dirac spinors and matrices

Electronic states of graphene nanoribbons studied with the Dirac equation [PDF]
We study the electronic states of narrow graphene ribbons (``nanoribbons'') with zigzag and armchair edges. The finite width of these systems breaks the spectrum into an infinite set of bands, which we demonstrate can be quantitatively understood using ...

Construction of Dirac spinors for electron vortex beams in background electromagnetic fields
Exact solutions of the Dirac equation, a system of four partial differential equations, are rare. The vast majority of them are for highly symmetric stationary systems. Moreover, only a handful of solutions for time dependent dynamics exists.
