Q: Are both of these the Dirac Hamiltonian?

Pablo T.Sometimes, I see this called the Dirac Hamiltonian: $$\hat{H} =\vec{\mathbf{\alpha}}\cdot\hat{\vec{p}} + \mathbf{\beta}m ;$$ but, if we take the Dirac Lagrangian density, obtain the corresponding Hamiltonian density via Legendre transforming and integrate, we get --- if I'm not mistaken --- $$\ha...
