The main result of the paper is a new representation for the Weyl Lagrangian (massless Dirac Lagrangian). As the dynamical variable we use the coframe, i.e. an orthonormal tetrad of covector fields. We write down a simple Lagrangian--wedge product of axial torsion with a lightlike element of the coframe--and show that variation of the resulting action with respect to the coframe produces the Weyl equation. The advantage of our approach is that it does not require the use of spinors, Pauli…

The Weyl Lagrangian is the massless Dirac Lagrangian. The dynamical variable in the Weyl Lagrangian is a spinor field. We provide a mathematically equivalent representation in terms of a different

### The massless Dirac equation from the continuum mechanics and microlocal analysis perspectives

The thesis is concerned with the study of the massless Dirac equation. In the first part we study the massless Dirac equation in dimension 1+3 in the stationary setting, i.e. when the spinor field

The paper deals with the Weyl equation which is the massless Dirac equation. We study the Weyl equation in the stationary setting, i.e. when the spinor field oscillates harmonically in time. We

In this thesis we deal with quadratic metric–affine gravity, which is an alternative theory of gravity. We present new vacuum solutions for this theory and attempt to give their physical

This thesis is concerned with the study of the massless Dirac operator in dimen- sion three and is, in part, based upon [12, 22, 21, 26, 25]. An introduction is given in Chapter 1. In Chapter 2 we
