We present a new method to introduce rotationally invariant terms in staggered fermions which is based on an $SO(2D)$ Clifford algebra formulation, where $D$ means the number of space-time dimensions. We have four candidates for improved…
We formulate the Dirac oscillator covariantly in the presence of external non-Abelian gauge fields. More precisely, the matter field is written as $\Psi_{\alpha A}(x)$, where $\alpha$ denotes the Dirac index and $A$ the isospin index, so…
The Dirac particle, i.e. the dynamic system S_D, described by the free Dirac equation is investigated. Although the Dirac equation is written usually in the relativistically covariant form, the dynamic system S_D is not completely…
We investigate the free, massless Dirac equation $D\psi = 0$ on a higher-dimensional manifold $M_4 \times K$ equipped with a submersion metric. These background metrics generalize the Kaluza ansatz. They encode 4D massive gauge fields and…

We have derived the most general chirally invariant Lagrangian ${\cal L}_6$ for the meson sector at order $p^6$. The result provides an extension of the standard Gasser-Leutwyler Lagrangian ${\cal L}_4$ to one higher order, including as…
A representation of the Dirac algebra, derived from first principles, can be related to the combinations of unit charges which determine particle structures. The algebraic structure derives from a broken symmetry between 4-vectors and…
This paper is dedicated to the memory of Zbigniew Oziewicz, to his generosity, intelligence and intensity in the search that is science and mathematics. The paper begins with a basic construction that produces Clifford algebras inductively,…
A version of the Dirac equation is derived from first principles using a combination of quaternions and multivariate 4-vectors. The nilpotent form of the operators used allows us to derive explicit expressions for the wavefunctions of free…
It is shown that the Dirac equation with the Coulomb potential can be solved using the algebra of the three spinor invariants of the Dirac equation without the involvement of the methods of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The Dirac…
In 1926, Dirac stated that quantum mechanics can be obtained from classical theory through a change in the only rule. In his view, classical mechanics is formulated through commutative quantities (c-numbers) while quantum mechanics requires…
A new class of lattice Dirac operators which satisfy the index theorem have been recently proposed on the basis of the algebraic relation $\gamma_{5}(\gamma_{5}D) + (\gamma_{5}D)\gamma_{5} = 2a^{2k+1}(\gamma_{5}D)^{2k+2}$. Here $k$ stands…
Three out of four complex components of the Dirac spinor can be algebraically eliminated from the Dirac equation (if some linear combination of electromagnetic fields does not vanish), yielding a partial differential equation of the fourth…
We discuss the most general form of Dirac equation in the non$-$Riemannian spacetimes containing curvature, torsion and non$-$metricity. It includes all bases of the Clifford algebra $cl(1,3)$ within the spinor connection. We adopt two…
The 24 components of the relativistic spin tensor consist of 3+3 basic spin fields and 9+9 constitutive fields. Empirically only 3 basic spin fields and 9 constitutive fields are known. This empirem can be expressed by two spin axioms, one…
The distributed system $\mathcal{S}_D$ described by the Dirac equation is investigated simply as a dynamic system, i.e. without usage of quantum principles. The Dirac equation is described in terms of hydrodynamic variables: 4-flux $j^{i}$,…
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…

Previously (A. Akhmeteli, J. Math. Phys., v. 52, p. 082303 (2011)), the Dirac equation in an arbitrary electromagnetic field was shown to be generally equivalent to a fourth-order equation for just one component of the four-component Dirac…
