give a short intro that explains to a non-mathematical person what a Dirac spinor is? No. Ok. just kidding. But seriously, no. At some point, mathematics...

but I would say this sort of detail might be more relevant in either Dirac spinor or Representation theory of the Lorentz group, not here. --Fylwind (talk)...

formulation if you have to introduce an arbitrary spin axis? If you mean that a four-component Dirac spinor is only a projection of something larger (eight...

factually incorrect: the equation for one component of the Dirac spinor, which is equivalent to the Dirac equation, is not non-linear, it is linear with respect...

true, but follow the link Dirac spinor for the typical intended meaning when a physicist says "spinor". Dirac spinors (spin 1/2) in this sense are foremost...

{\frac {\mathbf {\sigma } \cdot \mathbf {p} }{E+m}}} is a spinor operator (2x2 matrix), not a spinor component. I leave it as an exercise to the author to...

interpolation from an unrotated state to the state that the spinor represents. After the spinor representing the rotation has been rotated to its opposite...

section explaining the historical development of the Dirac equation -- and in that context, the "holes" Dirac had been postulating were in fact positrons --...

a spinor bundle" is a bit confusing. Probably the space on which it acts is either the space of Clifford-valued smooth functions on R^n, or spinor-valued...

full of ordinary psi solutions of the Dirac equation (DE). I'm looking at one for an electron AT REST. As a spinor it has four parts, each of them a simple...

with algebraic errors. Anyway, I think Dirac spinor is in pretty good shape and I want to get Majorana spinor up to a comparable condition. 67.198.37...

and NOT a real rep! Since you're a physicist, take the example of a Dirac spinor. It's a self-dual complex rep of the double cover of the Lorentz group...

Sorry, but I moved your edits out to spinors in three dimensions and dirac spinor, respectively. The Dirac spinors edit needs to be adjusted to fit in...

in 1926 (although Fermi derived it before Dirac).[1][2] The particles of F-D statistics have half-integer spin (1/2, 3/2, etc.) and are called fermions...

number of real dimensions as a Dirac spinor, and so it is not surprising that a one-to-one map between Dirac spinors and the even subalgebra can be constructed...

This starts out trying to describe a Lounesto classification of spinor fields, but never finishes doing that. It would be nice if we had a clear and coherent...

start with a "classical definition" of spin structure, using principal fibre bundle, cf. Thomas Friedrich in "Dirac Operators in Riemannian Geometry" (2000)...

mass from the Spinor field article be moved here? 70.247.169.197 (talk) 17:42, 21 August 2010 (UTC) I came across Polar form of the Dirac equation on new...

spinors in three dimensions, Weyl-Brauer matrices (which is presumably the same thing as Higher-dimensional gamma matrices), Dirac spinor, spinor bundle...

vector containing 4 complex numbers -- the familiar spinor. However, we can now recognise that this spinor simply represents an object isomorphic to a lower-dimensional...
