A partial solution for Feynman's problem -- A new derivation of the Weyl equation

Atsushi Inoue

Abstract:
Associating classical mechanics to a system of partial differential equations, we give a procedure for Feynman-type quantization of a "Schrödinger-type equation with spin." Mathematically, we construct a "good parametrix" for the Weyl equation with an external electromagnetic field. Main ingredients are (i) a new interpretation of the matrix structure using superanalysis and (ii) another interpretation of the method of characteristics as a quantization procedure of Feynman type.
