Are spinor wave functions describing e.g. Dirac spinors are spin 1/2 fields.

Dirac, Paul, Spinors in Hilbert Space, University of Miami Center for Theoretical Studies, 1974. Nevertheless, in general (that is in CS) your field theory derived bundle (i.e., other representations of SO(1,3)). The basic idea of Einstein's theory is to unite space and time into a single entity of spacetime, whose “points” (or events) can then be represented by real spinors of type . Penrose explains the many details and twists of the notation in The Road to Reality and in his (and Rindler's) Spinors and Space-time I, where you'll find extensions to deal graphically also with spinors and twistors. I know that, in flat space-time (Minkowski), the fields are defined as irreducible representations of the universal covering group SU(2)xSU(2) of SO(4) (which is basically the Lorentz group SO(1,3) under a Wick rotation of time). There is some subtlety with spinors, as not all curved manifolds admit spinors (those that do have what is called a "spin structure"). Kursunolgu, Behram N., and Eugene P. However, without loss of generality at this moment, we can consider that every spinor field is of “Dirac Type/Class”. If you would like to discuss the idea in real live . Dirac, Paul, General Theory of Relativity, Wiley, 1975. This volume introduces and systematically develops the calculus of 2-spinors. In 1964 he published his “Lectures on Quantum Mechanics” (London:Academic) which deals with constrained dynamics of nonlinear dynamical systems including quantization of curved spacetime. There are different kinds of spinors.
