The standard Cauchy initial value problem for first order differential equations is to construct a solution function in a neighborhood of space and time from the values of the function on a selected initial value surface. On the characteristic surfaces the solution function may be discontinuous, so the standard Cauchy construction breaks down. For the Dirac equation the characteristic surfaces are null surfaces. An alternative version of the initial value problem may be formulated using null surfaces; the initial value data ...
