Encyclopedia of Gamma Matrix Representations?

Hello, I was just curious if anyone knew of a single place with a list of many different gamma matrix representations, I haven't been able to find what I want by just searching google. In particular, I'm looking for a representation of the 5+1 dimensional Clifford algera. In other dimensions it's possible to choose a representation where C=γ_0, and I was wondering if this is possible for the 5+1 dimensional case I'm working with, as it would make my algebra much easier.

Thanks!

You want a Majorana representation, right? Is http://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/daviesr/resources/notes/spinors.pdf any help?
 
Thanks, it doesn't answer my specific question, but the representation they give is a little nicer than the one I was working with anyways for my purposes. I appreciate it!
 
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
