Key Equations

$$\mathcal{L}_{\text{Dirac}} = \bar{\psi}(i\gamma^\mu\partial_\mu - m)\psi$$
$$J^\mu = \bar{\psi}\gamma^\mu\psi, \qquad \partial_\mu J^\mu = 0$$
$$\psi(x) \to e^{ie\alpha(x)}\psi(x)$$
$$\boxed{D_\mu \equiv \partial_\mu + ieA_\mu}$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
