AI Thread Summary
Dirac's identity in Minkowski spacetime involves the second derivative of the Dirac delta function, represented mathematically as the equation provided. The equation indicates that the second derivative with respect to spacetime coordinates results in a product of delta functions, emphasizing the significance of the 4-vector relationship. The discussion seeks resources or materials for further understanding of this identity. There is a noticeable lack of responses or insights from other participants regarding the topic. Overall, the inquiry highlights a gap in available information on Dirac's identity in the context of Minkowski spacetime.

Do somebody knows anything about the Dirca's identity?
<br /> \begin{equation} \label{Dirac}<br /> \frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_{\mu}\partial x^{\mu}} \delta(xb_{\mu}xb^{\mu}) =<br /> -4\pi \delta(xb_0)\delta(xb_1)\delta(xb_2)\delta(xb_3)<br /> \end{equation}<br />
here
xb, is the 4-vector $x-b$ in Minkowsky spacetime
\delta$ is the Dirac delta function
x_0 = -x^0, \quad x_1 = x^1, \quad x_2 = x^2, \quad x_3, = x^3
Do you know where can i find some material about it?

Thanks!

Nobody knows anything about this? [= UP]
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
