k+1] [member of] [sigma]([]) are two consecutive eigenvalues of the D'Alembertian and [sigma]([]) is the spectrum of the D'Alembertian.
Dirac's master wave equation can be factorized--essentially by taking the square-root of the d'Alembertian operator applied to a Majorana 2-spinor wavefunction--to obtain not only Dirac's famous electron equation (in the common 4-spinor formalism), but also the equations for more exotic spinning particles (including the Proca equation, the Duffin-Kemmer equation for spins 0 and 1, and the Rarita-Schwinger equations for spin 3/2).
