We show that Dirac 4-spinors admit an entirely equivalent formulation in terms of 2-spinors defined over the split-quaternions. In this formalism, a Lorentz transformation is represented as a $2 \times 2$ unitary matrix over the…

We determine the contributions of isolated singularities of spin V 4-manifolds to the index of the Dirac operator over them. From these data we derive certain constraints on the intersection forms of spin 4-manifolds bounded by spherical…
Dirac's leaping insight that the normalized anti-commutator of the {\gamma}^{\mu} matrices must equal the timespace signature {\eta}^{\mu}{\nu} was decisive for the success of his equation. The {\gamma}^{\mu}-s are the same in all Lorentz…
