Spinors and the Dirac Equation
نویسنده
چکیده
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 first study the Euclidean case of three spatial dimensions.

A Local Existence Theorem for the Einstein-Dirac Equation
We study the Einstein-Dirac equation as well as the weak Killing equation on Riemannian spin manifolds with codimension one foliation. We prove that, for any manifold M admitting real Killing spinors (resp. parallel spinors), there exist warped product metrics η on M × R such that (M × R, η) admit Einstein spinors (resp. weak Killing spinors). To prove the result we split the Einstein-Dirac equ...
متن کاملThe Einstein - Dirac Equation on Riemannian SpinManifolds .
We construct exact solutions of the Einstein-Dirac equation, which couples the gravitational eld with an eigenspinor of the Dirac operator via the energy-momentum tensor. For this purpose we introduce a new eld equation generalizing the notion of Killing spinors. The solutions of this spinor eld equation are called weak Killing spinors (WK-spinors). They are special solutions of the Einstein-Di...

متن کاملSome Properties of Charge-Conjugated Spinors in D dimensions
Spinors for an arbitrary Minkowski space with signature (t, s) are reassessed in connection with D-dimensional free Dirac action. The possibility of writing down kinetic and mass terms for charge-conjugated spinors is discussed in terms of the number of time-like directions of the space-time. The results found out here are commented in the light of early works on the subject. Spinors in arbitra...
متن کاملTriality, Biquaternion and Vector Representation of the Dirac Equation
The triality properties of Dirac spinors are studied, including a construction of the algebra of (complexified) biquaternion. It is proved that there exists a vector-representation of Dirac spinors. The massive Dirac equation in the vector-representation is actually self-dual. The Dirac’s idea of non-integrable phases is used to study the behavior of massive term.

ABSTRACT : Quaternion Dirac equation has been obtained from the square root of Klein-Gordon equation in compact and consistent way. Dirac matrices are described as quaternion valued and the Dirac Hamiltonian is considered as Hermitian with real eigenvalues of energy. Dirac spinors and free particle energy solution has been obtained in terms of one component, two-component and four-component Dir...
