When studying Dirac operators, it is well known that the phenomenon of Zitterbewegung leads to a lack of convexity of the variance, which creates difficulties in the analysis of dispersive properties. In particular, standard virial methods…
It is well known that the Classical theory of the electron reached the limits of its description at time intervals of the order of $10^{-23} secs$, that is the Compton time. It is widely believed that below these time intervals Classical…
