In this paper we consider solutions of the Dirac equation at ultra high energies. The study provides new insights including features overlooked thus far and also new ramifications.
This manuscript is a lightly reformatted version of my 2017 PhD thesis. I am posting it on arXiv at the request of my advisor, Sergiu Klainerman, who noted that it has been useful to some students. The content largely reflects the thesis in…
