Abstract
We study solutions to the Dirac equation in Minkowski space that transform as -dimensional conformal primary spinors under the Lorentz group . Such solutions are parameterized by a point in and a conformal dimension . The set of wavefunctions that belong to the principal continuous series, , with and in the massive and massless cases, respectively, form a complete basis of delta-function normalizable solutions of the Dirac equation. In the massless case, the conformal primary wavefunctions are related to the wavefunctions in momentum space by a Mellin transform.
