A comparative study of quaternionic rotational Dirac equation and its interpretation

Abstract

In this study, we develop the generalized Dirac like four-momentum equation for rotating spin-half particles in four-dimensional quaternionic algebra. The generalized quaternionic Dirac equation consists the rotational energy and angular momentum of particle and anti-particle. Accordingly, we also discuss the four vector form of quaternionic relativistic mass, moment of inertia and rotational energy-momentum in Euclidean space-time. The quaternionic four angular momentum (i.e. the rotational analogy of four linear momentum) predicts the dual energy (rest mass energy and pure rotational energy) and dual momentum (linear like momentum and pure rotational momentum). Further, the solutions of quaternionic rotational Dirac energy-momentum are obtained by using one, two and four-component of quaternionic spinor. We also demonstrate the solutions of quaternionic plane wave equation which gives the rotational frequency and wave propagation vector of Dirac particles and anti-particles in terms of quaternionic form.
