Quaternions, Lorentz Group and the Dirac Theory
It is shown that a subgroup of SL(2, H), denoted Spin(2, H) in this paper, which is defined by two conditions in addition to unit quaternionic determinant, is locally iso-morphic to the restricted Lorentz group, L ↑ +. On the basis of the Dirac theory using the spinor group Spin(2, H), in which the charge conjugation transformation becomes linear in the quaternionic Dirac spinor, it is shown th...
متن کاملMetric Geometries over the Split Quaternions
We give an overview of some recent results in hypersymplectic and para-quaternionic Kähler geometry, and introduce the notion of split three-Sasakian manifold. In particular, we discuss the twistor spaces and Swann bundles of para-quaternionic Kähler manifolds. These are used to classify examples with a fully homogeneous action of a semisimple Lie group, and to construct distinct para-quaternio...
متن کاملThe Lorf Orbit Equation with Full Quaternions
The Local Orbital Reference Frame (LORF) is a Cartesian frame tangential to the trajectory of an orbiting satellite. The orbital motion of the satellite entrains the movement of the LORF around an Inertial Reference Frame (IRF). In this paper, the classical orbit equations (written in terms of inertial position and velocity vectors) are transformed into the LORF orbit equations, by means of ful...
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...
