Quantisation of the classical relativistic zitterbewegung in the Schroedinger picture
Description
The Dirac equation in external fields and in curved spacetime is obtained from the quantisation of the classical model of the electron with internal degrees of freedom. There are no problems with singular Lagrangians and constraints. The flat-space limit is shown explicitly by putting the spin connections equal to zero. (author)
