The exterior algebra of Minkowski space naturally has the structure of a sixteen-dimensional Clifford algebra representation, and so can be used as the space of spinors. We examine plane, circular, and spherical solutions to the free Dirac…

In this paper we study Dirac-Hestenes spinor fields (DHSF) on a four-dimensional Riemann-Cartan spacetime (RCST). We prove that these fields must be defined as certain equivalence classes of even sections of the Clifford bundle (over the…
