THE PIN GROUPS IN PHYSICS: C, P AND T
THE PIN GROUPS IN PHYSICS: C, P AND T
A simple, but not widely known, mathematical fact concerning the coverings of the full Lorentz group sheds light on parity and time reversal transformations of fermions. Whereas there is, up to an isomorphism, only one Spin group which double covers the orientation preserving Lorentz group, there are two essentially different …
