Abstract

In four dimensions, the Minkowski metric leads to the 16-dimensional Clifford algebra C(1,3), Dirac's equation [1] is using four of these 16 matrices that form a basis of this algebra, a new operator is defined using all of these matrices and also generalized for a curved space. This new multilevel operator generalizes the Dirac's equation, the value of the generalized Dirac's operator is calculated in the Schwarzschild's metric. The torsion tensor is calculated taking into account the non-symmetric part of the metric tensor in the vanishing of its covariant derivative and applied to Kerr's metric generalizing the Clifford algebra. Geodesic equation, conservation laws, torsion tensor and Einstein field equation are obtained in a non-symmetric geometry.

Introduction

Dirac's equation is the relativistic wave equation derived by physicist Paul Dirac in 1928. The wave functions in the Dirac theory are vectors of four complex components (known as bispinors), two of which resemble the Pauli wavefunction in the non-relativistic limit, in contrast to the Schrodinger equation which described wave functions of only one complex component.

Dirac's operator is just the tip of the iceberg, the tip of a generalized operator that is obtained by operating on all members of the Clifford algebra basis and not just on four of them.

The Schwarzschild's metric is named in honour of Karl Schwarzschild, who found the exact solution in 1915 and published it in January 1916, a little more than a month after the publication of Einstein's theory of general relativity. It was the first exact solution of the Einstein field equations other than the trivial at space solution. Schwarzschild died shortly after his paper was published, as a result of a disease he developed while serving in the German army during World War I. Johannes Droste in 1916 independently produced the same solution as Schwarzschild.

Schwarzschild's metric is an exact solution to the Einstein's field equations that describes the gravitational field outside a spherical mass, on the assumption that the electric charge of the mass, angular momentum of the mass, and universal cosmological constant is all zero.

The new generalized Dirac's operator, the multilevel operator, is calculated in the Schwarzschild's metric, torsion tensor and new gravitomagnetic tensor appear in level 2, curvature tensor appears in levels 3 and 4.

The Kerr's metric is a generalization to a rotating body of the Schwarzschild's metric. The Einstein field equation relates the geometry of spacetime to the distribution of matter within it. The equations were published by Einstein in 1915 in the form of a tensor equation which related the local spacetime curvature with the local energy, momentum and stress within that spacetime expressed by the stress-energy tensor.

Conclusions

Multilevel operator  has been generalized for a curved space with a general four-potential P. For gravity  is the new gravitomagnetic tensor and torsion tensor  appears in its definition.

In a at space  and operators vanish. In a curved space the curvature tensor  appears in levels 3 and 4.

The appearance of torsion tensor  and curvature tensor  in multilevel operator  means that this operator is a fundamental operator in Quantum Field Theory.

, have been calculated for Schwarzschild's metric, then , the gravitomagnetic tensor has been obtained.

Each, where n is the number of γ matrices in the product of the algebra members, is related to an n-form.

The invariance of the length of vectors under parallel transport requires the vanishing of the metric tensor covariant derivative, a new term appears in equation (59) with  measuring the non-symmetric part of the metric tensor, solving these equations we get the torsion tensor.

Rearranging Kerr's metric we obtained , the non-symmetric part of the metric tensor, gravitomagnetic tensor has also been calculated generalizing the Clifford algebra.

Taking into account the  in the geodesic equation we have obtained the torsion tensor, conservation laws and Einstein field equation in a non-symmetric geometry.
