Dirac Equation in Four Time and Four Space Dimensions

Abstract

The Dirac equation in four time and four space dimensions (or (4+4)-dimensions) is considered. Step by step we show that such an equation admits Majorana and Weyl solutions. In order to obtain the Majorana or Weyl spinors we used a method based on the construction of Clifford algebra in terms of 2x2-matrices. We argue that our approach can be useful in supergravity, superstrings and qubit theory.
