On 7 February I gave a talk at the 2023 ANZAMP meeting. Held in Hobart, Tasmania, this was the annual conference of ANZAMP, the Australian and New Zealand Association of Mathematical Physics.
Title: The geometry of spinors in Minkowski space
Abstract: Work of Penrose and Rindler in the 1908s developed a formalism for spinors in relativity theory. In their work they gave geometric interpretations of 2-component spinors in terms of Minkowski space. We present some extensions of this work, involving 3-dimensional hyperbolic geometry.
Slides from the talk are below.
