Physics Asked by Anon21 on April 30, 2021
I am confused by the appearance of the electromagnetism bivector in the formulation of the wave-function in space-time algebra.
David Hestenes suggests that the wave-function can be written as
$$
psi =sqrt{rho}e^{Ib/2}e^{-F/2}
$$
where $F$ is a bi-vector. Its exponential is a rotor.
But, a bi-vector in space-time algebra is the electromagnetic field, and the Maxwell equations are obtained by $nabla F=0$.
Does the wavefunction $psi$ refers to the electromagnetic field, or is it just a coincidence that bi-vectors are used both for electromagnetism and rotors?
Is there a link between the rotor $e^{-F/2}$ and electromagnetism $nabla F=0$?
