Abstract

We discuss the variational principle within Quantum Mechanics in terms of the noncommutative even Space Time sub-Algebra, the Clifford \Ra\Ra-algebra Cl1,3+Cl_{1,3}^+. A fundamental ingredient, in our multivectorial algebraic formulation, is the adoption of a \D\D -complex geometry, \Dspan\RR{1,γ21}\D \equiv span_{\RR} \{1,\gamma_{21} \}, γ21Cl1,3+\gamma_{21} \in Cl_{1,3}^+. We derive the Lagrangian for the Dirac-Hestenes equation and show that such Lagrangian must be mapped on \DF\D \otimes {\cal F}, where F\cal F denotes an \Ra\Ra-algebra of functions.
