Real Spinor Fields

چکیده
The Dirac equation is expressed entirely in terms of geometrical quantities by providing a geometrical interpretation for the (−1) which appears explicitly in the Dirac equation. In the modification of the Dirac electron theory which ensues, the (−1) appears as the generator of rotations in the spacelike plane orthogonal to the plane containing the electron current and spin vectors. This amounts to a further “relativistic” constraint on the spinor theory and so may be expected to have physical consequences. It does not, however, conflict with well-substantiated features of the Dirac theory.

The orthogonal representation of the Poincare group on the Majorana spinor field
The irreducibility of a representation of a real Lie algebra may depend on whether the representation space is a real or complex Hilbert space. The unitary projective representations of the Poincare group on complex Hilbert spaces were studied by Wigner and many others. Although the Poincare group has a real Lie algebra, we do not know of any study of the orthogonal projective representations o...
متن کاملThe massive Elko spinor field in the de Sitter braneworld model
The Elko spinor field is a spin 1/2 fermionic quantum field with a mass dimension introduced as a candidate of dark matter. In this work, we study the localization of Elko fields on a de Sitter thick brane constructed by a canonical or phantom scalar field. By presenting the mass-independent potentials of Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes in the corresponding Schrödinger equations, it is shown that the E...
متن کاملThe Majorana spinor representation of the Poincare group
There are Poincare group representations on complex Hilbert spaces, like the Dirac spinor field, or real Hilbert spaces, like the electromagnetic field tensor. The Majorana spinor is an element of a 4 dimensional real vector space. The Majorana spinor field is a space-time dependent Majorana spinor, solution of the free Dirac equation. The Majorana-Fourier and Majorana-Hankel transforms of Majo...
متن کاملDifferentiation along Multivector Fields
The Lie derivation of multivector fields along multivector fields has been introduced by Schouten (see cite{Sc, S}), and studdied for example in cite{M} and cite{I}. In the present paper we define the Lie derivation of differential forms along multivector fields, and we extend this concept to covariant derivation on tangent bundles and vector bundles, and find natural relations between them and...
متن کاملA Geometrical Description of Spinor Fields: non-Grassmannian toy model
In this paper I am going to present the way to define fermionic field in terms of three orthogonal vector fields of norm 1 together with two real valued scalar fields. This paper is based on a toy model where there are no Grassmann variables.
متن کاملThe orthogonal real representations of the Poincare group
DRAFT VERSION The Majorana spinor is an element of a 4 dimensional real vector space. The Majorana spinor representations of the Rotation and Lorentz groups are irreducible. The spinor fields are space-time dependent spinors, solutions of the free Dirac equation. We define the Majorana-Fourier transform and relate it to the linear momentum of a spin one-half Poincare group representation. We sh...
