Common Space of Spin and Spacetime

Given Lorentz invariance in Minkowski spacetime, we investigate a common space of spin and spacetime. To obtain a finite spinor representation of the non-compact homogeneous Lorentz group including Lorentz boosts, we introduce an indefinite inner product space (IIPS) with a normalized positive probability. In this IIPS, the common momentum and common variable of a massive fermion turn out to be ``doubly strict plus-operators''. Due to this nice property, it is straightforward to show an uncertainty relation between fermion mass and proper time. Also in IIPS, the newly-defined Lagrangian operators are self-adjoint, and the fermion field equations are derivable from the Lagrangians. Finally, the nonlinear QED equations and Lagrangians are presented as an example.

From time inversion to nonlinear QED

In Minkowski flat space-time, it is perceived that time inversion is unitary rather than antiunitary, with energy being a time vector changing sign under time inversion. The Dirac equation, in the case of electromagnetic interaction, is not invariant under unitary time inversion, giving rise to a ``Klein paradox''. To render unitary time inversion invariance, a nonlinear wave equation is constructed, in which the ``Klein paradox'' disappears. In the case of Coulomb interaction, the revised nonlinear equation can be linearized to give energy solutions for Hydrogen-like ions without singularity when nuclear number $Z>137$, showing a reversed energy order pending for experimental tests such as Zeeman effects. In non-relativistic limit, this nonlinear equation reduces to nonlinear schrödinger equation with soliton-like solutions. Moreover, particle conjugation and electron-proton scattering with a nonsingular current-potential interaction are discussed. Finally the explicit form of gauge function is found, the uniqueness of Lorentz gauge is proven and the Lagrangian density of quantum electrodynamics (QED) is revised as well. The implementation of unitary time inversion leads to the ultimate derivation of nonlinear QED.

Scattering of massive Dirac fields on the Schwarzschild black hole spacetime

With a generally covariant equation of Dirac fields outside a black hole, we develop a scattering theory for massive Dirac fields. The existence of modified wave operators at infinity is shown by implementing a time-dependent logarithmic phase shift from the free dynamics to offset a long-range mass term. The phase shift we obtain is a matrix operator due to the existence of both positive and negative energy wave components.

Quantization of Dirac fields in static spacetime

On a static spacetime, the solutions of the Dirac equation are generated by a time-independent Hamiltonian. We study this Hamiltonian and characterize the split into positive and negative energy. We use it to find explicit expressions for advanced and retarded fundamental solutions and for the propagator. Finally, we use a fermion Fock space based on the positive/negative energy split to define a Dirac quantum field operator whose commutator is the propagator.
