Generalization of Dirac Conjugation in the Superalgebraic Theory of Spinors

Abstract

In the superalgebraic representation of spinors using Grassmann densities and derivatives with respect to them, a generalization of Dirac conjugation is introduced, which provides Lorentz-covariant transformations of conjugate spinors. It is shown that the signature of the generalized gamma matrices and their number, as well as the decomposition of the second quantization by momentums, are given by the variant of the generalized Dirac conjugation and by the requirement that the CAR-algebra be preserved in the transformations of the spinors and conjugate spinors.
