A representation of the Lorentz spin group and its application (Q2641522): Difference between revisions

For any positive integer \(m\geq4\) the authors consider a set of \(2^{[{m\over 2}]}\times 2^{[{m\over 2}]}\) special matrices \(\gamma_{j}(m),\quad j=0,1,\dots, m-1\), where \([{m\over 2}]\) is the integer part of \(m\over 2\). These matrices satisfy the condition \(\gamma_{j}(m)\gamma_{k}(m)+\gamma_{k}(m)\gamma_{j}(m)=2\eta _{jk}(m)I_{[{m\over 2}]}\), where \( j,k\in \{0,1\dots, m-1\}, \quad\eta _{jk}\) is a diagonal matrix with diagonal elements \(1,-1,\dots,-1\) and \(I_{[{m\over 2}]}\) is a \(2^{[{m\over 2}]}\times 2^{[{m\over 2}]}\) identity matrix. For \(m\geq 6\) the authors obtain the generators of the representation \(\mathfrak H (m)\) of the corresponding Lorentz spin group.
