Abstract

Abstract It is shown that the Dirac oscillator in a (2+1)-dimensional spacetime can be interpreted as a spin-1/2 fermion embedded in a transverse homogeneous magnetic field.

Highlights

  • In the Minkowski spacetime, the behaviour of a spin1/2 fermion of mass m subject to the most generic set of interactions is governed by the Dirac equation

  • The interaction potential matrix of the Dirac oscillator under Lorentz transformations changes depending on the dimensions of the Minkowski spacetime

  • It is natural to ask about the Lorentz nature of the interaction potential matrix corresponding to the (2 + 1)-dimensional version of the Dirac oscillator

Summary

Introduction

Where pμ = i∂μ and V is the interaction potential matrix. The most general Dirac equation can be written in the form In (3 + 1) dimensions, γμ can be represented by a 4 × 4 matrix and the general interaction potential matrix
