It is well known that there exists a four dimensional complex vector associated with a nondepolarizing Mueller matrix. In this note it is shown that this complex vector, which is isomorphic to the Jones matrix, can be obtained from the…
We introduce and extend the outer product and contractive product of tensors and matrices, and present some identities in terms of these products. We offer tensor expressions of derivatives of tensors, focus on the tensor forms of…
We introduce a simple algorithm that efficiently computes tensor products of Pauli matrices. This is done by tailoring the calculations to this specific case, which allows to avoid unnecessary calculations. The strength of this strategy is…
In this paper we will provide a new operatorial counterpart of the path-integral formalism of classical mechanics developed in recent years. We call it new because the Jacobi fields and forms will be realized via finite dimensional…

After discussing the way that C2 and the algebra of complex 2x2 matrices can be used for the representation of both non-relativistic rotations and Lorentz transformations, we show that Dirac bispinors can be more advantageously represented…
We show that there is a manifestly covariant version of the Pauli Hamiltonian with equations of motion quadratic on spin and field strength. Relativistic covariance inevitably leads to noncommutative positions: classical brackets of the…
Pauli matrices are 2x2 tracefree matrices with a real diagonal and complex (complex-conjugate) off-diagonal entries. They generate the Clifford algebra Cl(3). They can be generalised by replacing the off-diagonal complex number by one…
The new derivation of the equation of the spin precession is given for a particle possessing electric and magnetic dipole moments. Contributions from classical electrodynamics and from the Thomas effect are explicitly separated. A fully…
We classify (1+3)-dimensional Pauli equations for a spin-1/2 particle interacting with the electro-magnetic field, that are solvable by the method of separation of variables. As a result, we obtain the eleven classes of vector-potentials of…
The relativistic corrections to the magnetic dipole moment operator in the Pauli approximation were derived originally by Drake (Phys. Rev. A 3(1971)908). In the present paper, we derive their irreducible tensor-operator form to be used in…
In this work, the paraxial version of Maxwell equations is derived with the use of two Riemann-Silberstein vectors. Exact solutions of these equations are then obtained representing the paraxial electromagnetic fields. These fields satisfy…
Manifestly covariant formulation of discrete-spin, real-mass unitary representations of the Poincar\'e group is given. We begin with a field of spin-frames associated with 4-mometa p and use them to simplify the eigenvalue problem for the…

Recent results for rotations expressed as polynomials of spin matrices are derived here by elementary differential equation methods. Structural features of the results are then examined in the framework of biorthogonal systems, to obtain an…
