Homework Statement



I've been asked to write what this is explicitly - γμμ

Homework Equations



μμ-im)ψ = 0 - Dirac's equation

The Attempt at a Solution


I understand that γμ is a matrix but depending on what μ is they're all completely different :S

How can it be written explicitly if it completely changes based on μ?


Thanks in advance guys,

It's just a sum of 4 terms, I think you're supposed to write them all with the + sign 3 times between them. And probably even more, namely use a specific representation of the gamma matrices.
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
