Matrix theory and applications to relativistic wave equations

Abstract

The generalisations of Dirac Matrices and Clifford Algebra and their various mathematical features and physical applications have been systematically studied by many researchers. This study views the generalisations with attempts to find relativistic wave equations for particles of arbitrary Spin. The main aim of this thesis is to study the matrix algebraic aspects, of relativistic wave equations for arbitrary spin with special reference to spin-half. And some other interesting applications of matrix theory to physical problems also discussed.
