On the nonlinear spinor theory

  • Published:

Summary

In this paper the relativistic Fock methods are adopted for the nonlinear spinor theory. Sect.2 contains some remarks about the quantization. In Sect.3 the properties of the simplest amplitudes are discussed. In Sect.4 a relatively simple approximation of the two-point Fock equation is developed. In Sect.5 the Fock equation of the propagator function is considered using the approximations developed in Sect.4. In Sect.6 a self-consistent method is suggested to calculate masses and coupling constants.

Riassunto

In questo lavoro si adottano i metodi relativistici di Fock per la teoria spinoriale non lineare. La Sez.2 contiene alcune osservazioni sulla quantizzazione. Nella Sez.3 si discutono le proprietà delle ampiezze più semplici. Nella Sez.4 si sviluppa una approssimazione relativamente semplice della equazione di Fock per due punti. Nella Sez.5 si studia l’equazione di Fock della funzione propagatrice, facendo uso delle approssimazioni sviluppate nella Sez.4. Nella Sez.6 si suggerisce un metodo coerente in sè per calcolare le masse e le costanti di accoppiamento.
