Abstract

A real representation of Dirac algebra, using η=diag(−1,1,1,1) as standard metric is discussed. Among other interesting properties it allows to define a generalization of Lorentz transformations. Ordinary boosts and rotations are subsets The additional transformations are shown to describe transformations to displaced systems, rotating systems, “charged systems”, and others. Poincare transformations are shown to be approximations of these generalized Lorentz transformations. Appendix D gives an interpretation.
