We emphasize that the group-theoretical considerations leading to SO(10) unification of electro-weak and strong matter field components naturally extend to space-time components, providing a truly unified description of all generation…
Recently introduced massive spinors are written as 2-vectors consisting of two massless spinors with opposite helicities. With this notation a couple of relations between them can be derived easily, entirely avoiding the spinor indices. The…
We provide the first details on the unexpected theoretical discovery of a spin-one-half matter field with mass dimension one. It is based upon a complete set of dual-helicity eigenspinors of the charge conjugation operator. Due to its…
In a Kaluza-Klein space-time $V^{4}\otimes S^{3}$, we demonstrate that the dimensional reduction of spinors provides a 4-field, whose associated SU(2) gauge connections are geometrized. However, additional and gauge-violating terms arise,…
In this brief article we discuss spin polarization operators and spin polarization states of 2+1 massive Dirac fermions and find a convenient representation by the help of 4-spinors for their description. We stress that in particular the…
For local non-archimedean fields $k$, Piatetski-Shapiro has defined local spinor $L$-factors for irreducible representations $\Pi$ of $\mathrm{GSp}(4,k)$ of dimension $>1$, attached to a choice of a Bessel model $\Lambda$. We classify…
We study spin structures on orbifolds. In particular, we show that if the singular set has codimension greater than 2, an orbifold is spin if and only if its smooth part is. On compact orbifolds, we show that any non-trivial twistor spinor…
The approach unifying all the internal degrees of freedom - proposed by one of us - is offering a new way of understanding families of quarks and leptons. Spinors, namely, living in d(=1+13)-dimensional space, manifest in the observed…
Methods of spinor calculus in particle physics are described in this series of four chapters written in french. A special emphasis is made on the well-known helicity-coupling scheme which is the guiding thread of all these methods. Numerous…
We compute the spinor class field for a genus of orders, in a central simple algebra of higher dimension, that are intersections of two maximal orders. In particular, we compute the number of spinor genera in a genus of such orders, as the…
We employ the polar re-formulation of spinor fields to see in a new light their classification into regular and singular spinors, these last also called flag-dipoles, further splitting into the sub-classes of dipoles and flagpoles: in…
In the old spirit of Kaluza-Klein, we consider a spacetime of the form $P = M_4 \times K$, where $K$ is the Lie group $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ equipped with a left-invariant metric that is not fully right-invariant. We observe that a complete…
Relying on a mathematical analogy of the pure states of the two-qubit system of quantum information theory with four-component spinors we introduce the concept of the intrinsic entanglement of spinors. To explore its physical sense we study…
In order to understand the properties of Mott insulators with strong ground state orbital fluctuations, we study the zero temperature properties of the SU(4) spin-orbital model on a square lattice. Exact diagonalizations of finite clusters…

In the 2-spinor formalism, the gravity can be dealt with curvature spinors with four spinor indices. Here we show a new effective method to express the components of curvature spinors in the rank-2 $4 \times 4$ tensor representation for the…
The isotropic limit of spin systems with orbital degeneracy is shown to have global SU(4) symmetry. On many 2D lattices, the ground state does not posses long range order, which may explain the observed spin liquid properties of $LiNiO_2$.…
Spinorial tools have recently come back to fashion in loop gravity and spin foams. They provide an elegant tool relating the standard holonomy-flux algebra to the twisted geometry picture of the classical phase space on a fixed graph, and…
