| dc.description | We show that in the new description, Dirac's ``current vector'' is not related to a vector but to a tensor: the ``stress-energy tensor.'' Corresponding to Dirac's conservation law, we have the conservation laws of momentum and energy. The stress-energy tensor consists of two parts: an ``electromagnetic'' part, which has the same structure as the stress-energy tensor of the Maxwell theory, and a ``mechanical'' part, as suggested by hydrodynamics. The connection between these two tensors, which appears organically here, eliminates the well-known contradictions inherent in the dynamics of electron theory. (Editorial note: In this paper Lanczos continues to discuss his ``fundamental equation,'' from which he consistently derives Proca's equation and its stress-energy tensor.) | |
