The Dirac-Hestenes Equation for Spherical Symmetric Potentials in the Spherical and Cartesian Gauges
Roldao da Rocha, Waldyr A. Rodrigues
In this paper using the apparatus of the Clifford bundle formalism we show how straightforwardly solve in Minkowski spacetime the Dirac-Hestenes equation -- which is an appropriate…
Diffeomorphism Invariance and Local Lorentz Invariance
Roldao da Rocha, Waldyr A. Rodrigues
We show that diffeomorphism invariance of the Maxwell and the Dirac-Hestenes equations implies the equivalence among different universe models such that if one has a linear connect…
Where are ELKO Spinor Fields in Lounesto Spinor Field Classification?
Roldao da Rocha, Waldyr Alves Rodrigues
This paper proves that from the algebraic point of view ELKO spinor fields belong together with Majorana spinor fields to a wider class of spinor fields, the so-called flagpole spi…
Hidden Consequence of Active Local Lorentz Invariance
W. A. Rodrigues, Roldao da Rocha, J. Vaz
In this paper we investigate a hidden consequence of the hypothesis that Lagrangians and field equations must be invariant under active local Lorentz transformations. We show that…
An Ambiguous Statement Called 'Tetrad Postulate' and the Correct Field Equations Satisfied by the Tetrad Fields
Waldyr A. Rodrigues, Quintino A. Gomes de Souza
The names tetrad, tetrads, cotetrads, have been used with many different meanings in the physical literature, not all of them, equivalent from the mathematical point of view. In th…
