The Majorana particles and the Majorana sea

/ Abstract
Can one make a Majorana field theory for fermions starting from the zero mass Weyl theory, then adding a mass term as an interaction? The answer to this question is: yes we can. We can proceed similarly to the case of the Dirac massive field theory[1]. In both cases one can start from the zero mass Weyl theory and then add a mass term as an interacting term of massless particles with a constant ( external ) field. In both cases the interaction gives rise to a field theory for a free massive fermion field. We present the procedure for the creation of a mass term in the case of the Dirac and the Majorana field and we look for a massive field as a superposition of massless fields.
