A system of PDEs for the electromagnetic field and one real component of the spinor field is generally equivalent to spinor electrodynamics. There are reasons to believe that the component can be differentially eliminated from the system. A…
In the present paper it is shown that the Maxwell theory can be finely represented in the matrix form of Dirac's equation, if the Dirac wave function is identified with the electromagnetic wave by defined way. It seems to us, that such…
We formulate Lorentz group representations in which ordinary complex numbers are replaced by linear functions of real quaternions and introduce dotted and undotted quaternionic one-dimensional spinors. To extend to parity the space-time…
Exact solutions of the Dirac equation, a system of four partial differential equations, are rare. The vast majority of them are for highly symmetric stationary systems. Moreover, only a handful of solutions for time dependent dynamics…
We construct the $d$ dimensional "half" Schr\"odinger equation, which is a kind of the root of the Schr\"odinger equation, from the $d+1$ dimensional free Dirac equation. The solution of the "half" Schr\"odinger equation also satisfies the…
We first derive without recourse to the Dirac equation the two-component Majorana equation with a mass term by a direct linearization of the relativistic dispersion relation of a massive particle. Thereby, we make only use of the complex…
The theory of scale relativity provides a new insight into the origin of fundamental laws in physics. Its application to microphysics allows to recover quantum mechanics as mechanics on a non-differentiable (fractal) space-time. The…

The exact solution of the Dirac equation for fermions coupled to an external periodic chiral condensate (chiral spiral) is used to obtain the exact formula for the Wigner function (up to the quantum loop corrections). We find that the…
Schr{\"o}dinger noticed in 1952 that a scalar complex wave function can be made real by a gauge transformation. The author showed recently that one real function is also enough to describe matter in the Dirac equation in an arbitrary…
It is shown that the hypercomplex Dirac equation describes the system of connected fields: 4-scalar, 4-pseudoscalar, 4-vector, 4-pseudo-vector and antisymmetric 4-tensor second rank field. If mass is assumed to be zero this system splits…
In the first part of the paper we give a tensor version of the Dirac equation. In the second part we formulate and analyse a simple model equation which for weak external fields appears to have properties similar to those of the…
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…
The Dirac equation provides a description of spin 1/2 particles, consistent with both the principles of quantum mechanics and of special relativity. Often its presentation to students is based on mathematical propositions that may hide the…
In this paper we formulate Maxwell and Dirac theories as an already unified theory (in the sense of Misner and Wheeler). We introduce Dirac spinors as "Dirac square root" of the Faraday bivector, and use this in order to find a spinorial…
The Maxwell vector potential and the Dirac spinor used to describe the classical theory of electrodynamics both have components which are considered to be ordinary smooth functions on space-time. We reformulate electrodynamics by adding an…
By analyzing the Dirac equation with static electric and magnetic fields it is shown that Dirac's theory is nothing but a generalized one-particle quantum theory compatible with the special theory of relativity. This equation describes a…
From the 16-component Dirac-K\"{a}hler field theory, spinor equations for two types of massless vector photon fields with different parities have been derived. Their equivalent tensor equations in terms of the strength tensor $F_{ab}$ and…

A quantum Dirac field theory with no divergences of vacuum energy is presented. The vacuum energy divergence is eliminated by removing a extra degree of freedom of the Dirac fields. The conditions for removing the extra degree of freedom,…
