Write the algebra for the Lorentz group (between the generators of the 3 rotations and
1 3 boosts)
(spin matrices)
Lets generalize this spin 1/2 representation to 3+1 dimensions (Lorentz group):
(that means that the transformations generated by these matrices are a representation of the Lorentz
group)
Lista 1 2
2b Show that:
(the Dirac matrices rotate like vectors in 3+1 dimensions)
2c Lets define SPINORS, as the fields that transform under this representations:
is invariant
Write the most general Lagrangian using only ψ, with a maximum of two powers of ψ
2d and/or derivatives in x (the Lagrangian must be Lorentz invariant)
