An Action Principle for the Masses of Dirac Particles

Mathematical Physics 2014-01-28 v3 High Energy Physics - Theory math.MP

Abstract

A variational principle is introduced which minimizes an action formulated for configurations of vacuum Dirac seas. The action is analyzed in position and momentum space. We relate the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations to the notion of state stability. Examples of numerical minimizers are constructed and discussed.
