One Component Dirac Equation

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-06-26 v1

Abstract

We develop a relativistic free wave equation on the complexified quaternions, linear in the derivatives. Even if the wave functions are only one-component, we show that four independent solutions, corresponding to those of the Dirac equation, exist. A partial set of translations between complex and complexified quaternionic quantum mechanics may be defined.
