A Note on the Majorana Theory for $j=1/2$ and $j=1$ Particle States

Abstract

The wave equations for self/anti-self conjugate Majorana-McLennan-Case $j=1/2$ and $j=1$ spinors, proposed by Ahluwalia, are re-written to covariant form. The connection with the Foldy-Nigam-Bargmann-Wightman-Wigner (FNBWW) type quantum field theory is discussed.
