ABSTRACT

We offer further results and a matured physical interpretation, concerning our invariant algebra P for the Dirac equation discussed in 1983 [1] and 1996 [2]. Especially, P may be fully described either with simple spectral theory of the Hamiltonian or with a decoupling modulo order — ∞ of the positive and negative energy parts of the Dirac equation, similar to the Foldy-Wouthuysen transform. There seems to be evidence indicating that only operators in P qualify as observables—i.e., can be measured with arbitrary precision—a feature comparable to the Heisenberg uncertainty relation.
