Hypercomplex number approach to Schwinger's quantum source theory
Description
The hypercomplex numbers associated with the Dirac-Clifford algebra, are applied to the spin-0, 1/2, and -1 structures for Schwinger's source theory of quantum electrodynamics. The generalizations to 5-vectors and 5-space relativity are introduced. The anti-commuting numbers, associated with Fermi-Dirac statistics, are examined in some detail. The hypercomplex number formulation is suitable for curved space quantum computations. (author)
