Features: Spinor theory has broad applications in field theory, particle physics, relativity, and other fields. This book is a graduate-level textbook introducing the theory and applications of spinors and their group representations. The first three chapters cover group theory, representation theory, the Lorentz group, and SL(2,C) group. Chapters 4 to 8 sequentially introduce two-component spinors, Maxwell spinors, Dirac spinors, Pauli spinors, spinors in gravitational fields, spinors in gauge fields, and Euclidean gauge field spinors. Target Audience: University teachers, senior undergraduate and graduate students, and researchers in theoretical physics and mathematics, as well as related fields.
