A Wick Rotation for Spinor Fields: the Canonical Approach

Abstract

Recently we proposed a new Wick rotation for Dirac spinors which resulted in a hermitean action in Euclidean space. Our work was in a path integral context, however, in this note, we provide the canonical formulation of the new Wick rotation along the lines of the proposal of Osterwalder and Schrader.
