The Dirac algebra and its physical interpretation

Peter Rowlands, John P. Cullerne

abstract: A version of the Dirac equation is derived from first principles using a combination of quaternions and multivariate 4-vectors. The nilpotent form of the operators used allows us to derive explicit expressions for the wavefunctions of free fermions, vector bosons, scalar bosons; Bose-Einstein condensates, and baryons;annihilation, creation and vacuum operators; the quantum field integrals; and C, P and T transformations; and to suggest new insights into the meaning of supersymmetry and renormalization.
