Complex Kerr Geometry, Twistors and the Dirac Electron
Abstract
The Kerr-Newman spinning particle displays some remarkable relations to the Dirac electron and has a reach spinor structure which is based on a twistorial description of the Kerr congruence determined by the Kerr theorem. We consider the relation between this spinor-twistorial structure and spinors of the Dirac equation, and show that the Dirac equation may naturally be incorporated into Kerr-Schild formalism as a master equation controlling the twistorial structure of Kerr geometry. As a result, the Dirac electron acquires an extended space-time structure having clear coordinate description with natural incorporation of a gravitational field. The relation between the Dirac wave function and Kerr geometry is realized via a chain of links: {\it Dirac wave function Complex Kerr-Newman Source Kerr Theorem Real Kerr geometry.} As a result, the wave function acquires the role of an ``order parameter'' which controls spin, dynamics, and twistorial polarization of Kerr-Newman space-time.
