Exact Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation for spin 0- particle in curved space
The exact Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation concerning spin-0 particles is constructed for a wide class of spacetimes described by the static metric ds = V dt −W dx, where V = V (x) and W = W (x). The field equation for the massive scalar field in the curved spacetime is chosen in the form (
متن کاملThe Foldy–Wouthuysen transformation
The Foldy–Wouthuysen transformation of the Dirac Hamiltonian is generally taught as simply a mathematical trick that allows one to obtain a two-component theory in the low-energy limit. It is not often emphasized that the transformed representation is the only one in which one can take a meaningful classical limit , in terms of particles and antiparticles. We briefly review the history and phys...
متن کاملNonminimal coupling, equivalence principle and exact Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation
It is shown that the exact Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation for spin-0 particles on spacetimes described by the metrics ds = V dt −W dx, where V = V (x) and W = W (x), only exists if the scalar field is nonminimally coupled to the Ricci scalar field with a coupling constant equal to 1 6 . The nonminimal coupling term, in turn, does not violate the equivalence principle. As an application we obta...
متن کاملSome Aspects of the Exact Foldy-wouthuysen Transformation for a Dirac Fermion
The Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation (FWT) is used to separate distinct components of relativistic spinor field, e.g. electron and positron. Usually, the FWT is perturbative, but in some cases there is an involution operator and the transformation can be done exactly. We consider some aspects of an exact FWT and show that, even if the theory does not admit an involution operator, one can use the...
متن کاملFoldy-wouthuysen Transformed Edm Operator in Atomic System
We present a generalized Schiff transformation on electric dipole moments (EDM) in quantum field theory. By the unitary transformation, the time and parity violating interaction igψ̄σμνγ5ψF μν is transformed into a new form, but its nonrelativistic reduction has a unique form, which is free from Schiff’s theorem. With this operator, we estimate the EDM for the Cs case (dCs) with nonrelativistic ...
