Dirac's equation for a massless particle is conformal invariant, and accordingly has an so(4,2)invariance algebra. It is known that although Dirac's equation for a massive spin 1/2 particle is not conformal invariant, it too has an so(4,2)…

Complex geometry represents a fundamental ingredient in the formulation of the Dirac equation by the Clifford algebra. The choice of appropriate complex geometries is strictly related to the geometric interpretation of the complex imaginary…
