Strictly Canonical Quantization of a Massless Spinning Particle and a Quaternionic Extension of Pseudoclassical Mechanics

M. N. Barreto, F. J. S. Ferreira, S. I. Zlatev

A pseudoclassical model, reproducing, upon quantization, the dynamics of the chiral sectors of the massless spin-1/2 field theory is proposed. The discrete symmetries of the action…
