Discrete Dirac Structures and Variational Discrete Dirac Mechanics
We construct discrete analogues of Dirac structures by considering the geometry of symplectic maps and their associated generating functions, in a manner analogous to the construction of continuous Dirac structures in terms of the geometry of symplectic vector fields and their associated Hamiltonians. We demonstrate that this framework provides a means of deriving implicit discrete Lagrangian a...
متن کاملSpinors and the Dirac Equation
The Dirac equation can be derived using the relativistic relation between mass and energy E = m (normalized units) and the symmetries of the universe, so it is necessary to have a firm grasp on the latter. The relativistic symmetry group is the orthochronous Poincare group SO(1, 3) n R, though we shall mainly use just the orthochronous Lorentz group SO(1, 3). Its Lie algebra is so(1, 3). We fir...
متن کاملThe Modified Dirac Equation
We consider the behavior of particles at ultra relativistic energies, for both the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations. We observe that the usual description is valid for energies such that we are outside the particle’s Compton wavelength. For higher energies however, both the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations get modified and this leads to some new effects for the particles, including the appearan...
متن کاملThe Lorentz - Dirac equation
The Lorentz-Dirac equation (LDE) x 000 ? x 00 = d dx V (x) models the point limit of the Maxwell-Lorentz equation describing the interaction of a charged extended particle with the electromagnetic eld. Since (LDE) admits solutions which accelerate even if they are outside the zone of interaction, Dirac proposed to study so-called "non runaway" solutions satisfying the condition x 00 (t) ! 0 as ...
متن کاملThe Discovery of Dirac Equation and its Impact on Present-day Physics
We shall start by telling tile story of the discovery of the Dirac equation. There is no better way of telling it than in the words of the protagonists themselves and this is the way we shall do it. In this, we are greatly helpe.d by the excellent book "Inward Bound" by Abraham Pals (Pals 1986). Almost all our quotations are taken from this source. Every serious student of physics must read thi...
