The Dirac Adjoint, Gravitational Lapse and Shift, and Progress Toward a Biquaternion Unification of Quantum Mechanics and Relativity

Authors: E.P.J. de Haas

The Dirac adjoint is traditionally defined to restore Lorentz covariance of bilinear spinor quantities. In this paper we reinterpret the adjoint within the biquaternion Weyl--Dirac formalism. Starting from the Weyl-level algebra, where the metric is represented by the Pauli biquaternion basis $(T,K)$, we extend to the Dirac level through a parity--time doubling that introduces the basis $beta_mu=(beta_0,{bs beta})$. We demonstrate that the adjoint $overline{Psi}=Psi^daggerbeta_0$ acts as an algebraic inclusion of the local time-lapse field (the $g_{00}$ metric component), and that its generalization $overline{Psi}=Psi^dagger frac{1}{N}(beta_0-N^ibeta_i)$ incorporates also the spatial shift vector $N^i$. This step algebraically embeds both static and dynamic gravitational effects into the Dirac formalism.We analyze the Weyl-Hilbert and Dirac-Hilbert spaces, showing that only the latter couples to gravity through the adjoint. Finally we assess the stage reached in the ongoing unification of quantum mechanics, special relativity, and general relativity within the biquaternion approach.
