Real Spinors and Real Dirac Equation

چکیده
We reexamine the minimal coupling procedure in Hestenes' geometric algebra formulation of Dirac equation, where spinors are identified with even elements real Clifford spacetime. This point view, as we argue, leads naturally to a non-Abelian generalisation electromagnetic gauge potential.

Spinors 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 کاملUnitary Principle and Real Solution of Dirac Equation
The exact solution of the Dirac equation with the exact boundary condition is further investigated in the present paper. We introduce the unitary principle that can be used to disclose all logic paradoxes hidden in natural science and mathematics. By the unitary principle, we show that the existence of solution of differential equation requires an important modification to the constant of angul...
متن کاملReal Dirac Theory
The Dirac theory is completely reformulated in terms of Spacetime Algebra, a real Clifford Algebra characterizing the geometrical properties of spacetime. This eliminates redundancy in the conventional matrix formulation and reveals a hidden geometric structure in the theory. Among other things, it reveals that complex numbers in the Dirac equation have a kinematical interpretation, with the un...
متن کاملQuantum tomography for Dirac spinors
We present a tomographic scheme, based on spacetime symmetries, for the reconstruction of the internal degrees of freedom of a Dirac spinor. We discuss the circumstances under which the tomographic group can be taken as SU(2), and how this crucially depends on the choice of the gamma matrix representation. A tomographic reconstruction process based on discrete rotations is considered, as well a...
متن کاملMapping curved spacetimes into Dirac spinors
We show how to transform a Dirac equation in a curved static spacetime into a Dirac equation in flat spacetime. In particular, we show that any solution of the free massless Dirac equation in a 1 + 1 dimensional flat spacetime can be transformed via a local phase transformation into a solution of the corresponding Dirac equation in a curved static background, where the spacetime metric is encod...
