Abstract

We critically analyze the concept of photon helicity and its connection with the Pauli–Lubański vector from the viewpoint of the complex electromagnetic field, sometimes attributed to Riemann but studied by Weber, Silberstein, and Minkowski. To this end, a complex covariant form of Maxwell’s equations is used. Weyl’s two-component wave equation for massless neutrinos is also briefly discussed.
