Abstract

We consider the relativistic spinor field theory re-formulated in polar variables so to allow for the interpretation given in terms of fluid variables. After that the dynamics of spinor fields is converted as dynamics of a special type of spin fluid, we demonstrate that such conversion into dynamical spin fluid is not unique but it can be obtained through 1919 different rearrangements, by explicitly showing the 1919 minimal systems of hydrodynamic equations that are equivalent to the Dirac equations.
