DUFFIN-KEMMER-PETIAU EQUATION, PROCA EQUATION AND MAXWELL EQUATIONS IN 1+1 D CURVED SPACETIME

AUTHOR(S) INFORMATION: Unal N.

ABSTRACT

We study the relation between the spin-1 sector of the Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau (DKP) Equation and Proca Equation in the 1+1 dimensional Riemann-Cartan (RC) spacetime and show that DKP equation is equivalent to complex Proca Equation. The massless particle limit of the Proca equation gives the Maxwells Equation in 1+1 D RC spacetime.
