In such models, the ordinary electron is in general associated to the mean motion of a point-like “constituent” View the MathML source, whose trajectory is a cylindrical helix. We find, in particular, that the object View the MathML source obeys a new, non-linear Dirac-like equation, such that — when averaging over an internal cycle (which corresponds to linearization) — it transforms into the ordinary Dirac equation (valid, of course, for the electron as a whole).

Abstract
The recent literature shows a renewed interest, with various independent approaches, in the classical models for spin. Considering the possible interest of those results, at least for the electron case, we purpose in this paper to explore their physical and mathematical meaning, by the natural and powerful language of Clifford algebras (which, incidentally, will allow us to unify those different approaches). In such models, the ordinary electron is in general associated to the mean motion of a point-like “constituent” View the MathML source, whose trajectory is a cylindrical helix. We find, in particular, that the object View the MathML source obeys a new, non-linear Dirac-like equation, such that — when averaging over an internal cycle (which corresponds to linearization) — it transforms into the ordinary Dirac equation (valid, of course, for the electron as a whole).File | Dimensione | Formato | |
