โœฆ Synopsis

In this Letter the standard Bosonization in four spacetime dimensions is used to introduce the 'polar coordinate frame' for a classical (commuting) Dirac spinor in a manifest covariant way. It appears that this is not a unique procedure since there is a variety of simple Abelian group structures that can interpolate between a Majorana and a Dirac spinor. One particular polar representation is applied to the Dirac equation and it turns out to provide an exact explicit solution under simple and quite unrestrictive conditions.

A new set of polynomial functions that can be used in spectral expansions of \(C^{\infty}\) functions in polar coordinates \((r, \phi)\) is defined by a singular Sturm-Liouville equation. With the use of the basis functions, the spectral representations remain analytic at the pole despite the coordi

The representations of \(\operatorname{Spin}(4,2)\), seem to be of particular physical interest since its quotient \(S O(4,2)\), is the conformal group of the spacetime. Kostant [7] has considered the Laplacian on a projective cone in \(R^{8}\) and has shown that the kernel \(H\) of the Laplacian is

The Dirac equation with a vector potential is considered using a biquaternionic formalism and boundary integral representations for its solutions are obtained. In order to characterize these solutions by a property of local approximability by linearization the corresponding notion of biquaternionic
