Title: ON THE POINCARE NON-INVARIANCE OF A RECENT ALTERNATIVE TO THE DIRAC EQUATION.
Abstract: Explicit construction of the infinitesimal generators of the Poincare group, demonstrating that the algebra of commutators closes only for the case of zero mass. Hence, the so-called Stigma equation proposed by Biedenharn et al. (1971) as an alternative to the Dirac equation (1928) for spin one-half, finite mass particles is not Poincare invariant except when the leptonic mass is zero.
