Abstract

In this paper we ask if there is an interesting twist in mathematics of the Feynman propagator of the present day [1] formalism for the Dirac equation. The case studied is with only a potential function V . If there is no special integration order per step for e.g. dx(0) = dx1dx2dx3 and dp(0) = dp1dp2dp3, then a delta function occurs when c∆t ≈ 0 and −∞ < pj < ∞ for j = 1,2,3. The found geoemtry of propagation can be tested in solid state chemistry. A crystal structure where only a two dimensional propagation of quasi particles can be created must be attached to the final step of the path integral. Neutron emission giving chemical isotopes is briefly discussed.
