Massive spin one-half one particle states for the mass dimension one fermions

Abstract

We study the conditions under which a non-standard Wigner class concerning discrete symmetries may arise for massive spin one-half states. The mass dimension one fermionic states are shown \textcolor{red}{to} constitute explicit examples. We also show how to conciliate these states with the current criticism due to the Lee and Wick, and Weinberg formulation.
