Hello! Can someone recommend me some good readings about spinors in physics? I know some basics (i.e. how they work in Minkowski space for Dirac field), but I would like to understand more of the mathematical formalism behind them (how can you build them, in a general number of dimensions, how do you build the generators of their Lie Algebra etc.). I would honestly prefer a book that doesn't go too deep into the formalism (i.e. complete proofs of any small details, and extreme abstractisations), but something at the boundary between math and physics. Thank you!
