The 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...

heterogeneity within the orientalist discourse: representation of the orient in womens travelogues and mens paintings
from 1950s onward, new theories and critical approaches burgeoned across humanities. these theories were context-oriented; as a result, the analysis of discursive practices gained significance. thus, social, political, historical and cultural discourses that have been hitherto marginalized and considered inferior to literary texts, were introduced as important texts to be analyzed by critics. o...
