GRAVITOMAGNETIC MOMENTS AND DYNAMICS OF DIRAC (SPIN ½) FERMIONS IN FLAT SPACE–TIME MAXWELLIAN GRAVITY

Abstract

The gravitational effects in the relativistic quantum mechanics are investigated in a relativistically derived version of Heaviside's speculative gravity (in flat space–time) named here as "Maxwellian gravity." The standard Dirac's approach to the intrinsic spin in the fields of Maxwellian gravity yields the gravitomagnetic moment of a Dirac (spin ½) particle exactly equal to its intrinsic spin. Violation of the Equivalence Principle (both at classical and quantum-mechanical level) in the relativistic domain has also been reported in this work.
