The Exact Foldy-Wouthuysen Transformation for a Dirac Theory Revisited
Abstract
The Exact Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation (EFWT) method is generalized here. In principle, it is not possible to construct the EFWT to any Hamiltonian. The transformation conditions are the same but the involution operator has a new form. We took a special example and constructed explicitly the new involution operator that allows one to perform the transformation. We treat the case of the Hamiltonian with 160 possible CPT-Lorentz breaking terms, using this new technique. The transformation was performed and physics analysis of the equations of motion is shown.
