Abstract: A variational principle is introduced which minimizes an action formulated for configurations of vacuum Dirac seas. The action is analyzed in position and momentum space. We relate the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations to the notion of state stability. Examples of numerical minimizers are constructed and discussed.

Review text

The authors introduce a variational principle which minimizes an action formulated for configurations of vacuum Dirac seas.The action is analysed in position and momentum space and the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations are discussed to relate to the notion of state stability. Numerical examples are constructed and discussed.
