Its applications are so widespread that a description of all aspects cannot be done with sufficient depth within a single volume. In this book the emphasis is on the role of the Dirac equation in the relativistic quantum mechanics of spin-1/2 particles. We cover the range from the description of a single free particle to the external field problem in quantum electrodynamics. Relativistic quantum mechanics is the historical origin of the Dirac equation and has become a fixed part of the education of theoretical physicists. There are some famous textbooks covering this area. Since the appearance of these standard texts many books (both physical and mathemat...Source: PublisherMore about this editionShow lessGet bookBorrowEdit locationCancelCheck availability at libraries near youNo matching city or zip codeOther editionsAug 6, 1992Dec 20101992Nov 28, 2012SpringerSpringerSpringer-VerlagSpringer Berlin HeidelbergHardcoverPaperbackHardcoverPaperback357 pages357 pages357 pages357 pagesCommon terms and phrasesangular momentumassumeassumptionsc²calculationcommutescompactcorrespondingCoulombcovariantcovering groupD+defineddenotedensedescribeddifferentialDirac equationDirac operatordomaindte-iHteigenfunctionseigenvalueselectronEqessential spectrumessentially self-adjointevolutionexternal fieldfiniteFock spaceFredholmfree Dirac operatorfunctionGgivenH+More terms and phrasesShow lessSimilar booksThe Schrödinger EquationBy F.A.
