Triality, Biquaternion and Vector Representation of the Dirac Equation

arXiv:math-ph/0109008

Abstract

The triality properties of Dirac spinors are studied, including a construction of the algebra of (complexified) biquaternion. It is proved that there exists a vector-representation of Dirac spinors. The massive Dirac equation in the vector-representation is actually self-dual. The Dirac's idea of non-integrable phases is used to study the behavior of massive term.
