Four-divergence and Legendre transformation

As a study case, consider the following Lagrangian for a left-handed Weyl field $\chi \in \mathbb{C}^{2}$: $$\mathcal{L} = \chi^{\dagger} \mathrm{i} \overline{\sigma}^{\rho} \partial_{\rho} \chi$$ w …

Dirac bracket for the Majorana Lagrangian

Note: See update below. Consider the Majorana Lagrangian $$\mathcal{L}=-\psi ^{\mathrm{T}}\mathrm{i}% \gamma ^{0}\left( \gamma ^{\rho }\partial _{\rho }+m\right) \psi ,\tag{1}$$ where $% \psi \in …
