Abstract
It is well known that any set of four anticommuting involutions (see §2) in a four-dimensional vector space can be represented by the Dirac matrices(1)where the B1,r are the Pauli matrices(2)(See (1) for a general exposition with applications to Quantum Mechanics.) One formulation, which we shall call the Dirac-Pauli theorem (2; 3; 1), isTheorem 1. If M1,M2, M3, M4 are 4 X 4 matrices satisfyingthen there is a matrix T such thatand T is unique apart from an arbitrary numerical multiplier.
