Anderson's Absolute Objects and Constant Timelike Vector Hidden in Dirac Matrices

نویسنده

چکیده

Anderson’s theorem asserting, that symmetry of dynamic equations written in the relativisitically covariant form is determined by symmetry of its absolute objects, is applied to the free Dirac equation. γ-matrices are the only absolute objects of the Dirac equation. There are two ways of the γmatrices transformation: (1) γi is a 4-vector and ψ is a scalar, (2) γi are scalars and ψ is a spinor. In the first case the Dirac equation is nonrelativistic, in the second one it is relativistic. Transforming Dirac equation to another scalar–vector variables, one shows that the first way of transformation is valid, and the Dirac equation is not relativistic completely.

Is the Dirac particle completely relativistic ?

The Dirac particle, i.e. the dynamic system SD, described by the free Dirac equation is investigated. Although the Dirac equation is written usually in the relativistically covariant form, the dynamic system SD is not completely relativistic, because its description contains such absolute objects as γ-matrices γk, forming a matrix vector. By means of the proper change of variables the γ-matrice...

The Relevance of Irrelevance: Absolute Objects and the Jones-Geroch Dust Velocity Counterexample, with a Note on Spinors

James L. Anderson analyzed the conceptual novelty of Einstein’s theory of gravity as its lack of “absolute objects.” Michael Friedman’s related concept of absolute objects has been criticized by Roger Jones and Robert Geroch for implausibly admitting as absolute the timelike 4-velocity field of dust in cosmological models in Einstein’s theory. Using Nathan Rosen’s action principle, I complete A...

Extended Objects with Edges

We examine, from a geometrical point of view, the dynamics of a relativistic extended object with loaded edges. In the case of a Dirac-Nambu-Goto [DNG] object with DNG edges, the worldsheet m generated by the parent object is, as in the case without boundary, an extremal timelike surface in spacetime. Using simple variational arguments, we demonstrate that the worldsheet of each edge is a const...
