Spinors and space-time Roger Penrose, Wolfgang Rindler
Publisher: Cambridge University Press

Mathematically, this corresponds to the fact that the .. Is that, covariant fermions and contravariant fermion (spinor) indices i see? Something to do with the correspondence between spinors and even elements of a Clifford algebra, and somehow needing 4pi radians to complete a rotation. Spinors and space-time Vol2 Rindler .djvu. Symmetry and Modern Physics Alfred S. The authors start with fermion fields and vector spin connection, and build spacetime out of it. Spinors and Space-Time Vol1-Rindler .djvu. Symmetries and curvature structure in general relativity Hall.djvu. Making 4d space from just fermions! But the local neighborhood around each point still looks like the (3+1)-dimensional spacetime of special relativity, and therefore has a time dimension which behaves differently from the three space dimensions. This volume introduces and systematically develops the calculus of 2-spinors. A classical field, in this language, is a function from every point in space-time to a number, spinor, vector, tensor, or some other structure of numbers.
