Abstract

The question of how does the Dirac equation depend on the choice of the γ\gamma matrices has partially been addressed and explored in the literature. In this paper we focus on this question by considering a general form of γ\gamma matrices, and call the resulting spin 12\frac{1}{2} fermions as \textit{intermediate fermion species} (IFS). By inspecting the properties of IFS, we find that all species transform to each other by a SO(3)SO(3) similarity transformation in the space of parameters, that are the entities of the γ\gamma matrices. Many properties, like eigenvalue problem and boost are tested for IFS. We find also sub-representations that generate Majorana fermions, which is isomorphism to U(1)U(1) group.
