Abstract

The distributed system SD\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 jij^{i}, pseudo-vector of the spin SiS^{i}, an action ϕ\hbar \phi and a pseudo-scalar κ\kappa . In the quasi-uniform approximation, when all transversal derivatives (orthogonal to the flux vector jij^i) are small, the system SD\mathcal{S}_D turns to a statistical ensemble of classical concentrated systems Sdc\mathcal{S}_{dc}. Under some conditions the classical system Sdc\mathcal{S}_{dc} describes a classical pointlike particle moving in a given electromagnetic field. In general, the world line of the particle is a helix, even if the electromagnetic field is absent. Both dynamic systems SD\mathcal{S}_D and Sdc\mathcal{S}_{dc} appear to be non-relativistic in the sense that the dynamic equations written in terms of hydrodynamic variables are not relativistically covariant with respect to them, although all dynamic variables are tensors or pseudo-tensors. They becomes relativistically covariant only after addition of a constant unit timelike vector fif^{i} which should be considered as a dynamic variable describing a space-time property. This "constant" variable arises instead of γ\gamma -matrices which are removed by means of zero divizors in the course of the transformation to hydrodynamic variables. It is possible to separate out dynamic variables κ\kappa , κi\kappa ^i responsible for quantum effects. It means that, setting κ,κi0\kappa ,\kappa ^i\equiv 0, the dynamic system SD\mathcal{S}_D described by the Dirac equation turns to a statistical ensemble EDqu\mathcal{E}_{Dqu} of classical dynamic systems Sdc\mathcal{S}_{dc}.
