An Elementary Perspective on the Dirac Equation and its Closest Relatives
Abstract
We consider the Dirac equation in a real setting to show its close relationship to Maxwell's equation. In addition to analysing the classical Dirac mass term, we also inspect the alternative Majorana mass term and discuss their quaternionic structure and its consequences.
