We present an attempt to formulate the supersymmetric and relativistic quantum mechanics in the sense of realizing supersymmetry on the single particle level, by utilizing the equations of motion which is equivalent to the ordinary second quantization of the chiral multiplet. The matrix formulation is used to express the operators such as supersymmetry generators and fields of the chiral multiplets. We realize supersymmetry prior to filling the Dirac sea.

It is well known that the motion of a dynamical system can be pictured in two distinct ways, which Dirac names the Heisenberg picture and the Schrödinger picture. The equations of motion take different forms in the two pictures, but of course have identical physical consequences, since the motion of the system does not depend in any way on which picture we choose. It should therefore be possible to express the equations in an invariant form (independent, that is, of the picture used). It will be shown in this note that not only can this be done (equation (3)), but it can be done in such a way that it is not even necessary to introduce a picture at all (equation (3′)).

The symmetry properties of the Dirac equation, which describes electrons in relativistic quantum mechanics, is rather different from that of the corresponding Schr6dinger equation. Consequently, even when the velocity of light, c, is much larger than the velocity of an electron Vk, with wave vector, k, relativistic effects may be important. For instance, while the exchange interaction is isotropic in non-relativistic quantum mechanics the coupling between spin and orbital degrees of freedom in relativistic quantum mechanics implies that the band structure of a spin polarized metal depends on the orientation of its magnetization with respect to the crystal axis. As a consequence there is a finite set of degenerate directions for which the total energy of the electrons is an absolute minimum. Evidently, the above effect is the principle mechanism of the magneto crystalline anisotropy [1]. The following session will focus on this and other qualitatively new relativistic effects, such as dichroism at x-ray frequencies [2] or Fano effects in photo-emission from non-polarized solids [3].

The conserved probability densities (attributed to the conserved currents derived from relativistic wave equations) should be nonnegative and the integral of them over an entire hypersurface should be equal to one. To satisfy these requirements in a covariant manner, the foliation of space–time must be such that each integral curve of the current crosses each hypersurface of the foliation once and only once. In some cases, it is necessary to use hypersurfaces that are not spacelike everywhere. The generalization to the many-particle case is also possible.
