Lagrangian for the Majorana-Ahluwalia construct

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

Equations describing self/anti-self-charge conjugate states, recently proposed by Ahluwalia, are re-written in covariant form. The corresponding Lagrangian for the neutral-particle theory is proposed. From a group-theoretical viewpoint the construct is an example of the Nigam-Foldy-Bargmann-Wightman-Wigner-type quantum field theory based on the doubled representations of the extended Lorentz group. Relations with the Sachs-Schwebel and Ziino-Barut concepts of relativistic quantum theory are discussed.
