Summary
It is shown how an antisymmetric tensor of rank two can be split up in a covariant manner to give rise to two 2-component Weyl’s equations for a neutrino. The photon may then be regarded as a combination of two such neutrinos.
Riassunto
Si mostra come un tensore antisimmetrico di ordine due può essere diviso in modo covariante dando origine per un neutrino a due equazioni di Weyl a due componenti. Il fotone può quindi essere considerato una combinazione di due di questi neutrini.
