For infinisesimal bispinor transformations we have δΨ=12ωμνημνΨ,δˉΨ=−12ωμνˉΨημν,ημν=−14(γμγν−γνγμ).(.1) Then, by compairing (.1) with transformation by the generators of the Lorentz group, δΨ=i2ωμνJμνΨ, we can make the conclusion that in bispinor representation Jμν=−iημν.(.2) By the other way, from Noether theorem we can get spin tensor, Sμ,αβ=∂L∂(∂μΨ)Yαβ+ˉYαβ∂L∂(∂μˉΨ). Then, by having (.1) and Lagrangian L=ˉΨ(iγμ∂μ−m)Ψ, it's easy to show that Sμ,αβ=iˉΨγμηαβΨ. It's clearly that I can get (.2) by Sαβ=∫Sμ,αβdxμ, but for me it's not obvious how to compute it. Can you help me?
Answer
By Noether’s theorem, the generators of the Lorentz group are the zero components of the currents, i.e., the Lorentz charges:
Sαβ=S0,αβ=iˉΨγ0ηαβΨ=Ψ†ηαβΨ
These charges generate the Lorentz transformations on the spinors by the canonical Poisson brackets:
{Ψ,Ψ†}P.B.=−iI
(With all other Poisson combinations vanishing). The Poisson brackets can be obtained from the time derivative term in the Dirac Lagrangian:
iΨ†∂0Ψ
Which implies that iΨ† is the canonical momentum of Ψ, thus satisfies the canonical Poisson brackets.
The action of the Lorentz charges correctly generates the Lorentz transformation:
δΨ={12ωαβSαβ,Ψ†}P.B.=12ωαβηαβΨ
