Abstract
The new relativistic equations of motion for the particles with arbitrary spin and nonzero mass, suggested by author in years 2014–2016, are under consideration. The complete version of brief paper in J. Phys: Conf. Ser., 670 (2016) 012047(1-16) is given. The axiomatic level description of the relativistic canonical quantum mechanics of an arbitrary mass and spin has been given. The 64-dimensional ClR(0,6) algebra in terms of Dirac gamma matrices has been suggested. The interpretation of the 28-dimensional gamma matrix representation of SO(8) algebra over the field of real numbers is given. The link between the relativistic canonical quantum mechanics of the arbitrary spin and the covariant local field theory in the form of extended Foldy–Wouthuysen transformation has been found. Different methods of the Dirac equation derivation have been reviewed. The manifestly covariant field equation for an arbitrary spin that follows from the corresponding equation of relativistic canonical quantum mechanics, has been considered. The found equations are without redundant components. The partial examples for spin s=3/2 and s=2 are presented. The covariant local field theory equations for spin s = (3/2,3/2) particle-antiparticle doublet and spin s = (2,2) particle-antiparticle doublet have been introduced. The Maxwell and slightly generalized Maxwell-like equations containing mass member have been considered as well.
Highlights
In [1] the interesting results in the area of relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory have been presented
Universal Journal of Physics and Application 11(6): 202-234, 2017 quantum mechanics as well
In [151], a method of deriving the Dirac equation from the relativistic Newton’s second law was suggested. Such derivation is possible in a new formalism, which relates the special form of relativistic mechanics to the quantum mechanics
Summary
In [1] the interesting results in the area of relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory have been presented. The corresponding relativistic quantum mechanics of arbitrary spin is given as the system of axioms. The review of the different investigations in the area of relativistic canonical quantum mechanics (RCQM) is given and the brief analysis of the existing approaches to the field theory of arbitrary spin is initiated. The general and fundamental goals here are as follows: (i) visual and demonstrative generalization of existing RCQM for the case of arbitrary spin, (ii) more complete formulation of this model on axiomatic level (on the test example of spin s=(1/2,1/2) particle-antiparticle doublet), (iii) vertical and horizontal links between the three different models of physical reality: relativistic quantum mechanics of arbitrary spin in canonical form, canonical (FW type) field theory of any spin, locally covariant (Dirac and Maxwell type) field theory of arbitrary spin.
