Turns out every vector can have a corresponding spinor, though not the other way round. Rindler, Spinors and Space-Time: Volume 2, Spinor and Twistor Methods in Space-Time Geometry, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1988. I stumbled on a book yesterday that covers some of the ideas I've been working on for some time now on my own. Second, both programs use two-component (complex) spinors (more precisely, pairs of two-component spinors) as the more primary entities. Moreover, this chapter asserts that the usual classical views of space and time conceal deeper concepts and relations from which both the space-time and the fundamental physical interactions are formed. There exists a decent set of literature out there for this, but unfortunately it's scattered across different `cultures' like a mathematical Tower of Babel. What's the meaning of spin in 1+1 spacetime? Snapshot 3: rotation by is required to recover the initial state. The original argument for absence of space-time SUSY years ago was indirect: M4× CP2 does not allow Majorana spinors so that N=1 SUSY is excluded. High Energy, Nuclear, Particle There are two-component spinors, a gamma matrix representation can be constructed from the Pauli matrices. Alain Connes should appreciate ;-). I've been spending some time thinking about spinors on curved spacetime. As well as any discussion of time without space becomes scholastic. In the Penrose program they are called twistors. (very roughly speaking : a kind of gauge field "between" two copies of the usual four-dimensional space-time, carrying respectively massless left-handed and right-handed spinors).
