Abstract
We construct an explicit covariant Majorana formulation of Maxwell electromagnetism which does nor make rise of vector 4-potential. This allows us to write a "Dirac" equation for the photon containing all the known properties of it. In particular, the spin and (intrinsic) boost matrices are derived and the helicity properties of the photon are studied.File in questo prodotto:
