Exact Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation for a Dirac equation describing the interaction of spin-1/2 relativistic particles with an external electromagnetic field

Bruno Gonçalves, Mário M. Dias Júnior, Larissa F. Eleotério

The Thomas-Bargmann-Michel-Telegdi (T-BMT) equation is derived using the Exact Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation. Extra new terms were found, and we discuss their possible physical a…

Master equations governing the coupling between spin-currents and gravity

A. de Camargo, R. F. Sobreiro, V. J. Vasquez Otoya

In this work we consider the Einstein-Hilbert action in the first order order formalism coupled to Dirac spinors. From the little group symmetry, we derive the corresponding Bargma…

The Exact Foldy-Wouthuysen Transformation for a Dirac Theory Revisited

Bruno Gonçalves, Mário M. Dias Júnior, Baltazar J. Ribeiro

The Exact Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation (EFWT) method is generalized here. In principle, it is not possible to construct the EFWT to any Hamiltonian. The transformation condition…

Integration of trace anomaly in 6D

Fabricio M. Ferreira, Ilya L. Shapiro

The trace anomaly in six-dimensional space is given by the local terms which have six derivatives of the metric. We find the effective action which is responsible for the anomaly.…
