摘要
We show that the Dirac equation is not the only first-order differential equation that is form-invariant under Lorentz transformations, irreducible, and derivable from a Lagrangian, and whose solutions correspond to mass m and spin. It is, however, the only such equation, except for spin 0 and 1, for which 0 is diagonalizable. © 1969 The American Physical Society.
