Abstract
In terms of the relational approach to space-time geometry and physical interactions, we show that the Dirac equation for a free fermion in the momentum representation can be obtained starting from a binary system of complex relations (BSCR) between elements of two abstract sets. With the derivation performed, we show that the 4-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean momentum space is not needed a priori but naturally emerges from considerations of rather general nature (2-spinor algebra). A bispinor wave function is constructed for a fermion with positive energy and an arbitrary distribution of momenta. Special attention is paid to physical assumptions that should be made to enable the construction.
期刊介绍:
Gravitation and Cosmology is a peer-reviewed periodical, dealing with the full range of topics of gravitational physics and relativistic cosmology and published under the auspices of the Russian Gravitation Society and Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia. The journal publishes research papers, review articles and brief communications on the following fields: theoretical (classical and quantum) gravitation; relativistic astrophysics and cosmology, exact solutions and modern mathematical methods in gravitation and cosmology, including Lie groups, geometry and topology; unification theories including gravitation; fundamental physical constants and their possible variations; fundamental gravity experiments on Earth and in space; related topics. It also publishes selected old papers which have not lost their topicality but were previously published only in Russian and were not available to the worldwide research community
