We considered an extension of the standard functional for the Einstein-Dirac equation where the Dirac operator is replaced by the square of the Dirac operator and a real parameter controlling the length of spinors is introduced. For one…
We study solutions to the Dirac equation in Minkowski space $\mathbb{R}^{1,d+1}$ that transform as $d$-dimensional conformal primary spinors under the Lorentz group $SO(1,d+1)$. Such solutions are parameterized by a point in $\mathbb{R}^d$…
We use the polar decomposition to describe the Dirac field in terms of an effective spinorial fluid. After reformulating all covariant equations in ``spinorial'' signature $(+ -- )$, we develop a $(1+1+2)$ covariant approach for the Dirac…
We propose a nonlocal extension of the generalized Dirac oscillator (GDO) in $(1+1)$ dimensions by replacing the multiplicative interaction $f(x)$ with an integral operator $\hat F$ with kernel $f(x,x')$. The resulting Dirac equation…

We study a formulation of Dirac fermions in curved spacetime that respects general coordinate invariance as well as invariance under local spin-base transformations. The natural variables for this formulation are spacetime-dependent Dirac…
In this article we investigate and solve exactly the modified Dirac oscillator in curved spacetime with spin and pseudospin symmetries through an algebraic approach. By focusing on the radial part of this problem, we use the Schr\"odinger…
For almost 75 years, the general solution for the Schr\"odinger equation was assumed to be generated by an exponential or a time-ordered exponential known as the Dyson series. We study the unitarity of a solution in the case of a singular…
It is a commonplace that any theory can be written in any coordinates via tensor calculus. But it is claimed that spinors as such cannot be represented in coordinates in a curved space-time. What general covariance means for theories with…
It is shown that the non-relativistic `Dirac' equation of L\'evy-Leblond, we used recently to describe a spin $1/2$ field interacting non-relativistically with a Chern-Simons gauge field, can be obtained by lightlike reduction from $3+1$…
All relativistic corrections to the Scr{\"o}dinger equation which determine the interlink between spin and orbit of moving particles, are directly calculated from the Dirac equation using the spin invariant operators. It is shown that among…
We give from first principles the non-relativistic limit of scalar and Dirac fields in curved spacetime. We aim to find general relativistic corrections to the quantum theory of particles affected by Newtonian gravity, a regime nowadays…
Modifications of Dirac operators in supergravity flux backgrounds are considered. Modified spin curvature operators and squares of modified Dirac operators corresponding to Schr\"odinger-Lichnerowicz-like formulas are obtained for different…
It has recently been shown that the classical electric and magnetic fields which satisfy the source-free Maxwell equations can be linearly mapped into the real and imaginary parts of a transverse-vector wave function which in consequence…
The Dirac equation in a curved spacetime depends on a field of coefficients (essentially the Dirac matrices), for which a continuum of different choices are possible. We study the conditions under which a change of the coefficient fields…
An effective approach for solving the three-dimensional Dirac equation for spherically symmetric local interactions, which we have introduced recently, is reviewed and consolidated. The merit of the approach is in producing Schrodinger-like…
In this work, we have extended the factorization method of scalar shape-invariant Schr\"o\-din\-ger Hamiltonians to a class of Dirac-like matrix Hamiltonians. The intertwining operators of the Schr\"odinger equations have been implemented…
This study explores the Feshbach-Villars (FV) formalism for spin-1/2 particles in curved spacetime. We derive the Hamiltonian form of the Dirac equation in this context and extend the FV transformation accordingly. The generalized…
The conservation law for the orbital plus spin angular momentum of a free Dirac particle in curved spacetime requires that the affine connection has the antisymmetric part: the torsion tensor, which extends general relativity to the…
We investigate using Clifford algebra methods the theory of algebraic dotted and undotted spinor fields over a Lorentzian spacetime and their realizations as matrix spinor fields, which are the usual dotted and undotted two component spinor…
