Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau and Dirac equations -- a supersymmetric connection (Q350615): Difference between revisions

Summary: In the present paper we study subsolutions of the Dirac and Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau equations in the interacting case. It is shown that the Dirac equation in longitudinal external fields can be split into two covariant subequations (Dirac equations with built-in projection operators). Moreover, it is demonstrated that the Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau equations in crossed fields can be split into two \(3\times 3\) subequations. We show that all the subequations can be obtained via minimal coupling from the same \(3\times 3\) subequations which are thus a supersymmetric link between fermionic and bosonicdegrees of freedom.
