Dirac equation at finite temperature. (English) Zbl 1243.81074

Summary: In this paper, we propose finite temperature Dirac equation, which can describe the quantum systems in an arbitrary temperature for a relativistic particle of spin-1/2. When the temperature \(T=0\), it become Dirac equation. With the equation, we can study the relativistic quantum systems in an arbitrary temperature.
