	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Spinor
		Spinors are sometimes described as "square roots of vectors" because the vector representation sometimes appears in the tensor product of two copies of the spinor representation.
		The understanding of spinors as being attached to, and constructed from isotropic vectors in Euclidean spaces strongly suggests that a physical RÂ³ model of space in a fundamental physical theory be replaced with a CÂ³ that is the analytic continuation of RÂ³.
		It is an essential part of the assumptions in spinor fl magic that the RÂ³ model of physical space be physically considered as embedded in a complex CÂ³ mapped to the linear subspace of M(2, C) with vanishing trace.

	8 Approaches Based on the Nester-Witten 2-Form
		The elements of this subspace would be interpreted as the spinor constituents of the ‘quasi-translations’ of the surface
		Since in Møller’s tetrad approach it is natural to choose the orthonormal vector basis to be a basis in which the translations have constant components (just as the constant orthonormal bases in Minkowski spacetime which are bases in the space of translations), the spinor fields
		could also be interpreted as the spinor basis that should be used to construct the orthonormal vector basis in Møller’s superpotential (10

	CONTEXTS FOR SIMPLE SPINOR ALGEBRA
		While they connect smoothly with the standard scattered literature on spinors, spinor fields and spin-tensor fields, as indicated in references and remarks, they search a bit more of the context of the matrix algebra of spinor concept than is customary.

	Maths -Spinor - Martin Baker
		Spinors provide a means to represent rotations in 'n' dimensions, a spinor turns into a negative when it does a complete rotation.
		Spinors seem to have been discovered independently by physicists (Dirac) and mathematicians (Rodrigues also Cartan) so it seems especially difficult to tie down a definition.
		Spinors provide a means to represent rotations in 'n' dimensions and were first defined by physicists working on Quantum Mechanics.

	Twistor Primer
		Spinor calculations are equivalent to tensor calculations in many ways.
		The main difference is that in the spinor case there are unprimed and primed (conjugate) spaces with their respective duals.
		The isomorphisms between the spaces and their duals are given by the skew-symmetric form so care must be taken to write the indices in the correct order.

	Configuration space spinors (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Generalization: the definition of the configuration space spinor must associate a classical time development of the induced spinor field to a spacetime surface.
		The space of the configuration space spinors (as opposed to the CH spinor fields) must be essentially identical with the Fock space of fermions and antifermions.
		The experience with the string models and p-adic mass calculations suggests strongly that the canonical symmetry algebra of the configuration space isometries extends to a super canonical algebra and that the configuration space gamma matrices are very simply related to the super generators of the super canonical algebra.

	Genera and Spinor Genera
		Unlike the genus, the spinor genus is not determined solely by the local data of the genus, so the cached representative is necessary to define the spinor class.
		The spinor characters are as a sequence of Dirichlet characters whose kernels intersect exactly in the group of automorphous numbers.
		The spinor generators are a sequence of primes which generate the group of spinor norms.

		Young's double beam interference experiment with spinor and vector waves
		School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, University of Sussex, Brighton, Sussex, UK The fringe shift observed in Young's double beam interference experiment using unpolarised neutrons, when one beam traverses a magnetic field before recombination, has been interpreted as implying direct observation of the sign reversal of a spinor wave function subjected to a 2
		This interpretation is unsatisfactory because for any fermion the relative rotation of the spins in the two beams and the interference pattern are mutually incompatible observables.

	What ARE Clifford Algebras and Spinors?
		Spinors are the minimal ideals on which the Spinor Group Spin(N) acts.
		Since the Clifford algebras are matrix algebras, spinors are either rows or columns in the Clifford matrix algebras.
		Since odd dimensional Clifford algebras are the sum of two matrix algebras, spinors for odd dimensional Clifford algebras are rows (or columns) of one of the matrix algebras, the matrix subalgebras of the even-grade elements of the graded Clifford algebra.

	The Spinor Norm and Zassenhaus’s Theorem
		Theorem 1, which we are now ready to prove, gives an intrinsic characterization of the spinor norm independent of such a factorization.
		This formula was originally obtained by H. Zassenhaus as a by-product of his proof that the spinor norm is well-defined (i.e., independent of the choice of symmetries of which the given isometry is expressed as a product).

	The Reference Frame: Pure spinor formalism
		The RNS formalism that describes the fields X^m and their superpartners psi^m that are fermions and worldsheet spinors (and the superpartners of X^m under the worldsheet supersymmetry), but they are spacetime vectors.
		In the Green-Schwarz formalism, the fermionic fields on the worldsheet are spacetime spinors, not vectors.
		We had 32 real components of the spinor \lambda^a to start with, and we imposed 10 conditions (don't ask me about the reality conditions!), so that number of independent degrees of freedom in the pure spinor is 22, and the pure spinor cancels the central charge of the GS fields X^m and \theta^a.

		I'll also mention briefly how spinor structures for Lorentzian manifolds provide the natural setting for the `spinor calculus', and so for the Dirac equation for the electron.

	F4 Mathematica Notebook 1992
		The Spin(8) Clifford algebra is the lowest dimensional Clifford algebra in which all spinors are not pure spinors.
		A pure spinor in n (n even) dimensions can be represented, up to proportionality, by a (1/2)n plane through the origin of the vector space V. The (1/2)n plane is (anti-) self-dual.
		The conformal nature of the transformation is important because the conformal group not only preserves the causal light-cone structure of spacetime but also leaves invariant the spinor bundle on an n-dimensional manifold (and is, in a sense, the largest group that does so) (Lawson and Michelsohn20).

	Spinor fields and spinor wave functions
		Fermions are spinor fields which obey anticommutation relations (Zee's motivation for this is that a pair of electrons have to be antisymmetric under exchange of quantum numbers).
		The claim is made that this is applicable to both anti-commuting and commuting spinors.
		For Weyl spinors, the situation is more complicated than in the more simple cases where we have only covariant and contravariant vectors (so that they can be represented by row and column vectors).

	The Reference Frame: Nikita on pure spinor cone
		Consequently, the space of pure spinors is equivalent to the space of these five-forms that can be obtained from spinors.
		In the RNS formalism (incidentally, NSR meant West Germany in Czech), we obtain it directly from the integrals over the zero modes of the "b" (and "beta") antighost - in a procedure that may be interpreted as a canonical BRST or Faddějev-Popov treatment.
		However, the pure spinor formalism has no explicit "b" ghosts and the loop integrals are more subtle.

	Lie Algebra E8 from Clifford Algebra Cl(8)
		Since 256 = 16 x 16 = 2^4 x 2^4, the full spinors of Cl(8) are 16-dimensional, and the half-spinors of Cl(8) are 8-dimensional.
		E6 is the sum of 28-dim Spin(8) plus Complex versions of the two 8-dim half-spinor spaces of Cl(8) and the 8-dim vector space of Cl(8), each of which is 2x8 = 16-dimensional.
		The central 2 elements correspond to the Complex U(1) symmetries of the spinor spaces and of the vector space.
