Linear Spinor Field Equations for Arbitrary Spins
نویسنده
چکیده
When utilizing a cluster decomposible relativistic scattering formalism, it is most convenient that the covariant field equations take on a linear form with respect to the energy and momentum dispersion on the fields in the manner given by the Dirac form for spin 1 2 systems. A general spinor formulation is given for arbitrary spins by minimally extending the Lorentz algebra to include operators whose matrix representation give general Dirac matrices. The forms of these matrices are explicitly demonstrated for spin 1 2 and spin 1 fields. Permanent address, Department of Physics, Howard University, Washington, DC 20059

An Extended Poincare Algebra for Linear Spinor Field Equations
When utilizing a cluster decomposible relativistic scattering formalism, it is most convenient that the covariant field equations take on a linear form with respect to the energy and momentum dispersion on the fields in the manner given by the Dirac form for spin 1 2 systems. The general spinor formulation for arbitrary spins given in a previous paper is extended to include momentum operators. ...
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 کاملNonlinear Spinor and Scalar Fields in General Relativity
We consider a system of nonlinear spinor and scalar fields with minimal coupling in general relativity. The nonlinearity in the spinor field Lagrangian is given by an arbitrary function of the invariants generated from the bilinear spinor forms S = ψ̄ψ and P = iψ̄γ5ψ; the scalar Lagrangian is chosen as an arbitrary function of the scalar invariant Υ = φ,αφ ,α, that becomes linear at Υ → 0. The sp...
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 کاملSystematics of IIB spinorial geometry
We reduce the classification of all supersymmetric backgrounds of IIB supergravity to the evaluation of the Killing spinor equations and their integrability conditions, which contain the field equations, on five types of spinors. This extends the work of [hep-th/0503046] to IIB supergravity. We give the expressions of the Killing spinor equations on all five types of spinors. In this way, the K...
