Subject: 173(6): Hamiltonian Formulation of the Fermion Equation
| This is the hamiltonian formulation giving the equation of motion and constants of motion. The first five terms in the hamiltonian are given in the non-relativistic approximation E about m c squared which leads to the g = 2 Lande factor of the anomalous Zeeman effect and Thomas factor of 2 that is observed in spin orbit splitting in spectra. Note carefully that 4 x 4 matrices and negative energy are nowhere used, yet all known spectral features are deduced. Sir William Rowan Hamilton came close to discovering quantum mechanics in the Hamilton Principle of Least Action, (see Peter Atkins, “Molecular Quantum Mechanics”) and was a predecessor on the Civil List.
