Use of group theory and Clifford algebra in the study of generalized Dirac equation for particles with arbitrary spin

چکیده
contains many of the features of the Dirac theory. The theory of spin-s free particles has been also developed by Proca [4], Kemmer [5] and Bargmann and Wigner [6]. All of these formalisms for spin-s free particles have many intrinsic contradictions and difficulties when an electromagnetic field interaction is introduced (see [7] and references therein). It should be noted that the mathematical structure of our study is different from all of the approaches which are available in the literature. Therefore, the generalized Dirac equation presented in this work can not be reduced to them. By the use of group theory and Cliffford algebra, we have shown in [8] that the generalized Dirac equation for the particles with arbitrary halfintegral spin is consistent and causal in the presence of an electromagnetic field interaction. The aim of this work is, using the method set out in [8], to establish the generalized Dirac

Spin Gauge Theory of Gravity in Clifford Space: A Realization of Kaluza-Klein Theory in 4-Dimensional Spacetime
A theory in which 4-dimensional spacetime is generalized to a larger space, namely a 16-dimensional Clifford space (C-space) is investigated. Curved Clifford space can provide a realization of Kaluza-Klein theory without a need of adding extra dimensions to the underlying spacetime. A covariant Dirac equation in curved C-space is explored. The generalized Dirac field is assumed to be a polyvect...
متن کاملThe Dirac Equation and General Linear Transformations of Coordinate Systems
The spinor representation of the Lorentz group does not accept simple generalization with the group GL(4,R) of general linear coordinate transformations. The Dirac equation may be written for an arbitrary choice of a coordinate system and a metric, but the covariant linear transformations of the fourcomponent Dirac spinor exist only for isometries. For usual diagonal Minkowski metric the isomet...
متن کاملGeneralized solution of Sine-Gordon equation
In this paper, we are interested to study the Sine-Gordon equation in generalized functions theory introduced by Colombeau, in the first we give result of existence and uniqueness of generalized solution with initial data are distributions (elements of the Colombeau algebra). Then we study the association concept with the classical solution.
متن کاملNon-local corrections to the Dirac equation
The Dirac equation is not semisimple. We therefore construct it as a contraction of a simple theory. The underlying simple structure is necessarily purely algebraic and non-local. It consists of many isomorphic distinguishable qubits with Clifford-Wilczek statistics and spin h̄/2, having a Clifford algebra with 6N generators as algebra of observables. The quantum imaginary ih̄ arises as the vacuu...
متن کاملHigher spin Dirac operators
In Clifford analysis, one studies spin-invariant differential operators on spaces of arbitrary dimension m. At the heart of the classical theory lies the well-known Dirac operator, which finds its origin in physics [5]: the Dirac equation describes the behaviour of electrons in the 4-dimensional spacetime. Our aim is to study generalizations of this operator, the so-called higher spin Dirac ope...
