u 2 σ µν γ 5 u 1 ≡ u 2 ε µναβ σ αβ u 1 −→ ε µναβ ˜Σαβ ,<br />

u 2 γ µ γ 5 u 1 −→ Σ µ ,<br />

where ˜Σ is the classical unit spin tensor, and Σ the corresponding spin vector.<br />

(The last term in the first expression takes into account the generation of<br />

the “Dirac” magnetic moment in the Foldy–Wouthuysen representation, for<br />

a particle that has purely an electric charge in the Dirac representation [88].)<br />

Since k → ∂, the structure functions F 1 (k 2 ), F 4 (k 2 ), H 4 (k 2 ) and a(k 2 ) can<br />

be interpreted as functions of the d’Alembertian operator, ∂ 2 ≡ (∂ ·∂). We<br />

assume that these structure functions are analytic everywhere, so that they<br />

can be expanded as a power series in ∂ 2 ; for example<br />

a(∂ 2 ) ≡ a 0 + a 1 ∂ 2 + a 2 ∂ 4 + . . . .<br />

We thus find that the most general interaction Lagrangian, in the classical<br />

limit, for spin-half particles is given by<br />

L int = F 1 (∂ 2 )(U ·A) + 1 2<br />

− H 4 (∂ 2 )(· ˜Σ · ˜F ·) − a(∂ 2 )(Σ ·J ext ),<br />

where we have used the inhomogeneous Maxwell equation,<br />

(E.5)<br />

∂ 2 A − ∂(∂·A) = J ext<br />

to express the a(∂ 2 ) term in terms of the “external” current J ext (x) generating<br />

the potential A(x), and where ˜F is the dual electromagnetic field tensor.<br />

Already, one can see in (E.5) the familiar interactions of the classical<br />

limit: electric charge; magnetic dipole moment—with its “pure Dirac” and<br />

anomalous terms; and electric dipole moment. The final interaction term,<br />
