Quaternionic Dirac free particle

Quantum Physics 2022-01-26 v1

Abstract

We solve the quaternionic Dirac equation (\mathbbmH\mathbbm HDE) in the real Hilbert space, and we ascertain that their free particle solutions set comprises eight elements in the case of a massive particle, and a four elements solution set in the case of a massless particle, a richer situation when compared to the four elements solutions set of the usual complex Dirac equation (\mathbbmC\mathbbm CDE). These free particle solutions were unknown in the previous solutions of anti-hermitian quaternionic quantum mechanics, and constitute an essential element in order to build a quaternionic quantum field theory (\mathbbmH\mathbbm HQFT).
