Generalization of Dirac conjugation in the superalgebraic theory of spinors
V. V. Monakhov St. Petersburg State University, St. Petersburg, Russia
Abstract:
In the superalgebraic representation of spinors using Grassmann densities and the corresponding derivatives, we introduce a generalization of Dirac conjugation, and this generalization yields Lorentz-covariant transformations of conjugate spinors. The signature of the generalized gamma matrices, the number of them, and the decomposition of second quantization with respect to momenta are given by a variant of the generalized Dirac conjugation and by the requirement that the algebra of canonical anticommutation relations should be preserved under transformations of spinors and conjugate spinors.
Keywords:
second quantization, CAR algebra, Clifford algebra, Dirac matrix, spinor, Dirac conjugation, Lorentz transformation, Lorentz covariance, causality, charge operator.
