Commuting Nonselfadjoint Operators and a Unified Theory of Waves and Corpuscles
M. S. Livšic
Abstract
In this paper, which is closely connected with our previous study ”What is a particle from the standpoint of systems theory?” [3], we consider the case of pairs of commuting operators with one-dimensional imaginary parts and we develop a unified theory of waves and particles for the case of Dirac equations. Particles emerge in Space as localized fields with singularities at their centers and wave equations appear as compatibility conditions for an overdetermined pair of equations of corresponding open systems. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
