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…

We define a special matrix multiplication among a special subset of $2N\x 2N$ matrices, and study the resulting (non-associative) algebras and their subalgebras. We derive the conditions under which these algebras become alternative…

We extend the biquaternionic Dirac equation to include interactions with a background bosonic field. The obtained biquaternionic Dirac equation yields Maxwell-like equations that hold for both a matter field and an electromagnetic field.…

It is shown that Maxwell's equation cannot be put into a spinor form that is equivalent to Dirac's equation. First of all, the spinor \psi in the representation \vec{F} = \psi \vec{u} \bar{\psi} of the electromagnetic field bivector depends…
