spinor field  

Definition

  • In differential geometry, given a spin structure on an n-dimensional orientable Riemannian manifold (M, g), one defines the spinor bundle to be the complex vector bundle π_ S : S → M associated to the corresponding principal bundle π_P : P → M of spin frames over M and the spin representation of its structure group Spin(n), on the space of spinors Δ_n.
