The geometry of space time and the Dirac equation
Description
This chapter attempts to derive relativistic quantum mechanics from the vector form of relativity. Introduces the ''Full Dirac equation'' and describes its derivation, its reduction to the standard Dirac equation, its solution for the free particle, and symmetries. Explains that as the energy momentum conservation relation holds for a system of several particles the method is the same for the case of two or more particle systems. Points out that the vectors and multivectors can be represented by four matrices and new forms of the many electron problems can be obtained
