Abstract
This note presents an elementary iterative construction of the generators for the complex -groups of the -dimensional spheres. These generators are explicitly given as the restrictions of Dirac or Weyl Hamiltonians to the unit sphere. Connections to solid state physics are briefly elaborated on.
