It is proposed that the Dirac equation, as normally interpreted, incorporates intrinsic redundancies whose removal necessarily leads to an enormous gain in calculating power and physical interpretation. Streamlined versions of the Dirac…
We study massive Majorana neutrinos in background matter. Representing these particles in terms of Weyl spinors, we carry out their quantization. The propagators of these fields are also constructed. Then, we apply the Hamilton dynamics…
This paper aims at extending our previous work on the solution of the one-dimensional Dirac equation using the Tridiagonal Representation Approach (TRA). In the approach, we expand the spinor wavefunction in terms of suitable square…
Local decompositions of a Dirac spinor into `charged' and `real' pieces psi(x) = M(x) chi(x) are considered. chi(x) is a Majorana spinor, and M(x) a suitable Dirac-algebra valued field. Specific examples of the decomposition in 2+1…
We study a formal extension of the Dirac equation in the framework of a non-commutative two-sheeted space-time. It is shown that this approach naturally extends the classical Dirac theory by doubling the number of fermionic states, which…

In the present article, using a further generalization of the algebraic method of separation of variables, the Dirac equation is separated in a family of space-times where it is not possible to find a complete set of first order commuting…

We consider a Dirac field coupled minimally to the Mielke-Baekler model of gravity and investigate cosmological solutions in three dimensions. We arrive at a family of solutions which exists even in the limit of vanishing cosmological…
We introduce the new, exactly solvable model of the two-dimensional Dirac fermion in presence of an asymmetric, P\"oschl-Teller-like vector potential. Utilizing the translation invariance of the system, the effective one-dimensional…
The Dirac method is used to analyze the classical and quantum dynamics of a particle constrained on a circle. The method of Lagrange multipliers is scrutinized, in particular in relation to the quantization procedure. Ordering problems are…
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…
We study the realization of chiral and parity transformations within a particle-like path-integral representation for Dirac fields, showing how those transformations can be implemented in a natural way within the formalism. We then obtain a…
In this note we discuss dual pairs in Dirac geometry. We show that this notion appears naturally when studying the problem of pushing forward a Dirac structure along a surjective submersion, and we prove a Dirac-theoretic version of…
A new approach to the problem of doubling is presented with the Dirac-Kahler (DK) theory as a starting point and using Geometric Discretisation providing us with a new way of extracting the Dirac field in the discrete setting of a…

We show that the large-charge formalism can be successfully applied to models that go beyond the vector models discussed so far in the literature. We study the explicit example of a conformal $SU(3)$ matrix model in 2+1 space-time…
We study the Dirac--Klein-Gordon system in $1+2$ spacetime dimensions. We show global existence of the solutions, as well as sharp time decay and linear scattering. One key advance is that we provide the first asymptotic stability result…
