The Dirac sea
نویسنده
چکیده
We give an alternate definition of the free Dirac field featuring an explicit construction of the Dirac sea. The treatment employs a semi-infinite wedge product of Hilbert spaces. We also show that the construction is equivalent to the standard Fock space construction.

Definition of the Dirac Sea in the Presence of External Fields
It is shown that the Dirac sea can be uniquely defined for the Dirac equation with general interaction, if we impose a causality condition on the Dirac sea. We derive an explicit formula for the Dirac sea in terms of a power series in the bosonic potentials. The construction is extended to systems of Dirac seas. If the system contains chiral fermions, the causality condition yields a restrictio...
متن کاملSome Observations on Dirac Measure-Preserving Transformations and their Results
Dirac measure is an important measure in many related branches to mathematics. The current paper characterizes measure-preserving transformations between two Dirac measure spaces or a Dirac measure space and a probability measure space. Also, it studies isomorphic Dirac measure spaces, equivalence Dirac measure algebras, and conjugate of Dirac measure spaces. The equivalence classes of a Dirac ...
متن کاملDirac sea pilot - wave model for quantum field theory
We present a pilot-wave model for quantum field theory in which the Dirac sea is taken seriously. The model ascribes particle trajectories to all the fermions, including the fermions filling the Dirac sea. The model is deterministic and applies to the regime in which fermion-number is super-selected. This work is a further elaboration of work by Colin, in which a Dirac sea pilot-wave model is p...
متن کاملDirac Sea Effects on Superfluidity in Nuclear Matter
We study two kinds of Dirac sea effects on the S0 pairing gap in nuclear matter based on the relativistic Hartree approximation to quantum hadrodynamics and the Gor’kov formalism. We show that the vacuum fluctuation effect on the nucleon effective mass is more important than the direct coupling between the Fermi sea and the Dirac sea due to the pairing interaction. The effects of the high-momen...
متن کاملEffects of the Dirac Sea on the Giant Monopole States
Effects of the Dirac sea on the excitation energy of the giant monopole states are investigated in an analytic way within the σ − ω model. The excitation energy is determined by the relativistic Landau-Migdal parameters, F0 and F1. Their analytic expressions are derived in the relativistic random phase approximation(RRPA) without the Dirac sea, with the Pauli blocking terms and with the full Di...
