Question #166382

Explain Lorentz invariance of Dirac equation . Deduce the condition for the invariance


Expert's answer

Consider two inertial frames, SS and S′S' . Let the xμx^\mu and xμ′x^{\mu^{'}}be the space-time coordinates of a given event in each frame, respectively. These coordinates are related via a Lorentz transformation, which takes the general form;

xμ′=avμxyx^{{\mu}^{'}}=a^{\mu}_{v}x^y , where the aμ′a^{{\mu}{'}} are real numerical coefficients that are independent of the xμx^{\mu}

In frame SS, the Dirac equation is written as;

[γμ(Pμ−ecΦμ)−mec]ψ=0[\gamma^\mu(P_\mu-\frac{e}{c}\Phi_\mu)-m_ec]\psi=0
