    Undergrad Getting back Maxwell's vector equations from their spinor version

    I found the suggestion by Robphy, the KKS paper useful. It was also suggested by Renormalize. Thanks.

    Undergrad Getting back Maxwell's vector equations from their spinor version

    Thanks for your reply. 1. I am still learning how to use LaTeX. 2. An Introduction to Spinors" by W. L. Bade and Herbert Jehle, a foundational paper on spinor calculus published in 1953 in the Reviews of Modern Physics

    Undergrad Getting back Maxwell's vector equations from their spinor version

    partial^AA' phi_AB =.0. I need some hints on how to find suitable components of phi_AB in terms the components of the electric and magnetic fields. Thanks.

    Undergrad Looking for a paper about spinors

    Thanks Paul Colby. I already have what you suggested but my interest is partly historical. I am interested in some early papers which contributed to the the theory of spinors.

    Undergrad Looking for a paper about spinors

    I am looking for a scan of the paper 'An Introduction to Spinors' by Bade & Jehle. Any help? Thanks.

    Undergrad Matrix representation of rank-2 spinors

    Assume that all spinors are 2-component ones. If spinor mAB = nAkB, what are the matrices representing spinors mAB and mBA?

    Does memory follow classical or quantum methods?

    In my daily routine, I read several short extracts. The same extracts, every day, every year, so that I can now repeat them by heart. I make no effort to remember anything. I just let words flow out...

    Graduate Dirac's 1958 lecture on spinors

    Are there any sources for the set of Dirac’s Cambridge lectures in early 1958, which had a huge and very specific impact on Penrose’s thinking about 2-component spinors? Thanks.

    Undergrad Dirac's 1972 Boston talk on Projective geometry in quantum mechanics

    I was forbidden to enter the given url. Thanks anyway.

    Undergrad Dirac's 1972 Boston talk on Projective geometry in quantum mechanics

    I am reading the transcript of the talk in the pdf mentioned above. A few days ago I found online a copy of handwritten notes (by the great Dirac himself or perhaps by Hart) where there were some diagrams mentioned in the transcript. But unfortunately I did not save these handwritten notes! I...
