We study four-dimensional effective bosonic field theories for (A) massive fermion field in the infrared region and (B) massive fermion in the ultraviolet region by using an appropriate fermion path integral chiral variable change and (C) Polyakov's Fermi–Bose transmutation in the 3D-Abelian Thirring model and its triviality as a quantum field theory.

We consider the canonical quantization of a generalized two-dimensional massive fermion theory containing higher odd-order derivatives. The requirements of Lorentz invariance, hermiticity of the Hamiltonian and absence of tachyon excitations suffice to fix the mass term, which contains a derivative coupling. We show that the basic quantum excitations of a higher-derivative theory of order 2N+1 consist of a physical usual massive fermion, quantized with positive metric, plus 2N unphysical massless fermions, quantized with opposite metrics. The positive-metric Hilbert subspace, which is isomorphic to the space of states of a massive free fermion theory, is selected by a subsidiary-like condition. Employing the standard bosonization scheme, the equivalent boson theory is derived. The results obtained are used as a guideline to discuss the solution of a theory including a current–current interaction.

AbstractIn this paper, we derive an expanded Dirac equation for a massive fermion doublet, which has in addition to the particle/antiparticle and spin-up/spin-down degrees of freedom explicity an isospin-type degree of freedom. We begin with revisiting the four-vector Lorentz group generators, define the corresponding gamma matrices and then write a Dirac equation for the fermion doublet with eight spinor components. The appropriate Lagrangian density is established, and the related chiral and SU(2) symmetry is discussed in detail, as well as applications to an electroweak-style gauge theory. In “Appendix,” we present some of the relevant matrices.

We revisit the CPT theorem for the Dirac equation and its extended version based on the vector representation of the Lorentz group. Then it is proposed that CPTM may apply to this fundamental equation for a massive fermion a s a singlet or a doublet with isospin. The symbol M stands here for reversing the sign of the mass in the Dirac equation, which can be accomplished by operation on it with the so-called gamma-five matrix that plays an essential role for the chirality in the Standard Model. We define the CPTM symmetry for the standard and extended Dirac equation and discuss its physical implications and some possible consequences for general relativity.
