Description

It is well known that the Dirac equations determine three conservation laws, for current, for energy momentum, and for angular momentum. Dividing the Dirac equations in two parts, one, D/sub I/, which does not contain the density rho, the other, D/sub II/, which contains rho, it is shown that D/sub I/ together with the three conservation equations, determine D/sub II/. From this result, a model of formulation of the Dirac theory is proposed, following a scheme similar to that of classical mechanics, in which principles regarding the motion of one particle are associated with conservation theorems concerning statistical ensembles of particles
