Dirac Equation in Space–Time with Torsion

The Dirac equation in a curved space–time endowed with compatible affine connection is reconsidered. After a detailed decomposition of the total action, the equation is obtained by varying with respect to the Dirac spinor and the torsion field. The result is a known Dirac-like equation with constraints that can be interpreted as the equation of a self-interacting spin 1/2 particle in curved space–time. The scheme is then translated into the language of the 2-spinor formalism of curved space–time based on the choice of a null tetrad frame. The spinorial equation so obtained coincides with the standard one in case of no torsion, while in general it remains a nonlinear equation describing a self-interacting spin 1/2 particle. The nonlinearity is produced by the interaction of the particle with its own current that remains conserved as in the free torsion case.

Solving the Dirac Equation with Nonlocal Potential by Imaginary Time Step Method

The imaginary time step （ITS） method is applied to solve the Dirac equation with the nonlocal potential in coordinate space by the ITS evolution for the corresponding Schrfdinger-like equation for the upper component. It is demonstrated that the ITS evolution can be equivalently performed for the Schrodinger-like equation with or without localization. The latter algorithm is recommended in the application for the reason of simplicity and efficiency. The feasibility and reliability of this algorithm are also illustrated by taking the nucleus ^16O as an example, where the same results as the shooting method for the Dirae equation with localized effective potentials are obtained.     

Solutions of the Dirac Equation for the Davidson Potential

In the present paper we solve the Dirac equation with Davidson potential by Nikiforov-Uvarov method. The Dirac Hamiltonian contains a scalar S and a vector V Davidson potentials. With equal scalar and vector potential, analytical solutions for bound states of the corresponding Dirac equations are found.     

Coulomb-Like Interactions in the Dirac Equation

The Dirac equation for the Coulomb-like problem is modified by incorporating minimal interactions into the Dirac Hamiltonian, that keep the 1/r potential dependence. We determine the general energy eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions.

Explicit Multi-Symplectic Splitting Methods for the Nonlinear Dirac Equation

In this paper, we propose two new explicit multi-symplectic splitting methods for the nonlinear Dirac (NLD) equation. Based on its multi-symplectic formulation, the NLD equation is split into one linear multi-symplectic system and one nonlinear infinite Hamiltonian system. Then multi-symplectic Fourier pseudospectral method and multi-symplectic Preissmann scheme are employed to discretize the linear subproblem, respectively. And the nonlinear subsystem is solved by a symplectic scheme. Finally, a composition method is applied to obtain the final schemes for the NLD equation. We find that the two proposed schemes preserve the total symplecticity and can be solved explicitly. Numerical experiments are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed methods.     

The Darboux Transform for the One-Dimensional Stationary Dirac Equation

Based on the method oftransformation operators, the Darboux transformation operator has been constructed for the one-dimensional stationary Dirac equation. The properties of this operator have been studied. As an application, exactly solvable transparent potentials and potentials with the spectrum of a relativistic harmonic oscillator have been obtained.     

Effect of Torsion in Dirac Equation for Coulomb Potential in Robertson–Walker Space–Time

The Dirac equation with Coulomb-like potential and self-interaction term, that originates from torsion, is studied in the Robertson–Walker space–time. It is shown that the angular dependence of the equation can be separated also in presence of nonlinear terms. Under reasonable physical assumptions, the time dependence is also separated. An extended perturbative calculation can then be applied qualitatively. The conclusion is that the perturbation of the energy levels of the system, as consequence of the self-interacting term, is not relevant on physical grounds.     

Complex Geometry and Dirac Equation

Complex geometry represents a fundamentalingredient in the formulation of the Dirac equation bythe Clifford algebra. The choice of appropriate complexgeometries is strictly related to the geometricinterpretation of the complex imaginary unit . We discuss two possibilities which appearin the multivector algebra approach: the₁₂₃ and ₂₁ complexgeometries. Our formalism provides a set of rules which allows an immediate translation between thecomplex standard Dirac theory and its version withingeometric algebra. The problem concerning a doublegeometric interpretation for the complex imaginary unit is also discussed.     

A Search on Dirac Equation

The solutions, in terms of orthogonal polynomials, of Dirac equation with analytically solvable potentials are investigated within a novel formalism by transforming the relativistic equation into a Schrodinger-like one. Earlier results are discussed in a unified framework, and some solutions of a large class of potentials are given.     

Dirac Equation at Finite Temperature

In this paper, we propose finite temperature Dirac equation, which can describe the quantum systems in an arbitrary temperature for a relativistic particle of spin-1/2. When the temperature T=0, it become Dirac equation. With the equation, we can study the relativistic quantum systems in an arbitrary temperature.     

Quaternion Dirac Equation and Supersymmetry

Quaternion Dirac equation has been analyzed and its supersymmetrization has been discussed consistently. It has been shown that the quaternion Dirac equation automatically describes the spin structure with its spin up and spin down components of two component quaternion Dirac spinors associated with positive and negative energies. It has also been shown that the supersymmetrization of quaternion Dirac equation works well for different cases associated with zero mass, nonzero mass, scalar potential and generalized electromagnetic potentials. Accordingly we have discussed the splitting of supersymmetrized Dirac equation in terms of electric and magnetic fields.     

Some Studies of the Neutron's Dirac Equation

In this paper, we continue the discussion for the neutron's Dirac equation and relevant problems after Ref.[1]. We consider the neutron's Dirac equation with the electric moment besides the magnetic moment, solve rigorously the neutron's Dirac equation in a uniform electromagnetic field. We also set up a relativistic neutron's spin-echo theory with a magnetic moment.     

Darboux Transformation of the Nonstationary Dirac Equation

The method of differential transformation operators is applied to the Dirac equation with the generalized form of the time-dependent potential. It is demonstrated that the transformation operator and the transformed potential are solutions of the initial equation. It is established that under certain conditions, an integral expression can be retrieved for the transformed potential. Examples of new potentials expressed through elementary functions are presented for which the Dirac equation can be solved exactly.__________Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 4, pp. 34–41, April, 2005.     

Particle Spectrum Implied by the Dirac Equation

There is a process that starts from the Lagrangian of a set of field equations and leads to a spectrum of particle states. The process is applied in this article to a Lagrangian for the Dirac equation. It leads to a differential equation with solutions that describe particles with definite mass, angular momentum J, charge, and isotopic spin I, having I = J. There is no suggestion of strangeness. The theory is in rough agreement with the masses of many of the 0⁺ (0^–+) and 0⁺ (0⁺⁺) mesons and with the masses of the nonstrange 1/2 (1/2⁺) and 3/2 (3/2⁺) baryons.
