The Non-Relativistic Limit of Keldysh Spinors

Keldysh spinors obey Dirac equation, but have the negative of the Dirac action and Hamiltonian. In an example of the U(1) EM coupling, we show that, despite the sign changes, they have a well-defined non-relativistic limit resulting in quantum mechanics with the positive-definite Pauli Hamiltonian. When non-relativistic Dirac and Keldysh fields are brought to interact, we observe curious decoupling of the two fields in mass-like and vector couplings.

The Negative Action Keldysh Spinors

We discuss quantization of Dirac spinors with action which is the negative of the standard action. Using the Keldysh QFT formulation, we show that the standard quantization of such Keldysh spinors results in the Hamiltonian bounded from above and in S-matrix for backwards in time scattering. The alternative quantization produces the standard Hamiltonian bounded from below and the standard S-matrix for forwards in time scattering. When the two masses are equal, the sum of their actions describes the standard Keldysh out-of-time-order correlators. When both Keldysh and Dirac spinors are present in a QFT, the standard Fock space is augmented by negative energy states, while its positive and the negative subspaces share the same vacuum state. In absence of gravity the Dirac and the Keldysh spinors do not interact and positive and negative energy states do not exchange quanta with non-zero energy. If Keldysh spinors exist in Nature, then the Universe would consist of bosonic and fermionic particles that are described by both positive and negative Fock energy states with a single vacuum state that cannot be crossed from either side. Such a scenario could explain the non-observation of dark energy/dark matter except via classical gravity.

The Bi-Spinor Standard Model with 3 Generations

We show that if two of four generations of the bi-spinor Standard Model are mass-degenerate or sufficiently close in mass only three generations can be observed. We argue that the Standard Model and its bi-spinor analog are indistinguishable on the level of the electroweak precision variables S, T, U. As a result the bi-spinor Standard Model, which describes experimental observed textures of flavor mixing matrices is a better fit to the data then the Standard Model, where the textures are arbitrary.

Scalar Spin of Elementary Fermions

We show that, using the experimentally observed values of CKM and PMNS mixing matrices, all known elementary fermions can be assigned a new quantum number, the scalar spin, in a unique way. This is achieved without introduction of new degrees of freedom. The assignment implies that tau-neutrino should be an anti-Dirac spinor, while mu-tau leptons and charm-top, strange-bottom quarks form Dirac-anti-Dirac scalar spin doublets. The electron and its neutrino remain as originally described by Dirac.
