Spinor representation of Maxwell's equations

Abstract

Spinors are more special objects than tensor. Therefore possess more properties than the more generic objects such as tensors. Thus, the group of Lorentz two-spinors is the covering group of the Lorentz group. Since the Lorentz group is a symmetry group of Maxwell's equations, it is assumed to reasonable to use when writing the Maxwell equations Lorentz two-spinors and not tensors. We describe in detail the representation of the Maxwell's equations in the form of Lorentz two-spinors. This representation of Maxwell's equations can be of considerable theoretical interest.
