Two-spinor geometry and gauge freedom
arXiv:1404.5054 · doi:10.1142/S0219887814600160
Abstract
Gauge freedom in quantum particle physics is shown to arise in a natural way from the geometry of two-spinors (Weyl spinors). Various related mathematical notions are reviewed, and a special ansatz of the kind "the system defines the geometry" is discussed in connection with the stated results.
