Gitman Instituto de F??sica, Universidade de Sa?o Paulo P.O. Box 66318, 05389-970 Sa?o Paulo, SP, Brazil A.E. Gonc?alves Departamento de F??sica, Universidade Estadual de Londrina P.O. Box 6001, 86051-970 Londrina, Pr, Brazil (February 1, 2008) Abstract A pseudoclassical model is proposed to describe massive Dirac ( spin one-half) particles in arbitrary odd dimensions. The quantization of the model repro- duces the minimal quantum theory of spinning particles in such dimensions. A dimensional duality between the model proposed and the pseudoclassical description of Weyl particles in even dimensions is discussed. 11.10.Ef, 03.65.Pm Typeset using REVTEX 1 I. INTRODUCTION As it is known one can construct a pseudoclassical model to describe massive Dirac (spin one-half) particles in 3 + 1 dimensions [1]. Its generalization to the case of even dimensions D = 2n , n = 3, 4, . . . , can be done by means of the direct dimensional extension [2]. The corresponding action has the form S = ∫ 1 0 [ ? x?2 2e ? e m2 2 + ? ( x?μψ μ e ?mψD ) χ? ?ψaψ? a ] dτ , (1) where x?2 = x?μx? μ; the Greek (Lorentz) indices μ, ν, . . ., run over 0, 1, . . . , d?1, whereas the Latin ones a, b, run over 0, 1, . . . , d; ημν = diag(1,?1, . . . ,?1︸ ︷︷ ︸ D ), ηab = diag(1,?1, . . . ,?1︸ ︷︷ ︸ D+1 ). The variables xμ and e are even and ψn, χ are odd. The quantization of the model leads to the Dirac quantum theory of spin one-half particle (to the Dirac equation). Attempts to extend the pseudoclassical description to the arbitrary odd-dimensional case had met some problems, which are connected with the absence of an analog of γ5?matrix in such dimensions. For instance, in 2n+1 dimensions the direct generalization of the standard action [1] does not reproduce a minimal quantum theory of spinning particle, where particles with spin 1/2 and ?1/2 have to be cons
