Physics Asked on June 5, 2021
Euclidean and Minkowski fermions are shown in the Table of Wikipedia. (see the bottom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinor#Summary_in_low_dimensions)
My question is that what does the conjugacy mean here precisely? What do the mutual and the self mean in terms of the conjugacy?
See Wikipedia page:
Let the spacetime metric have signature $(s,t)$.
Mutual conjugated means that the left and right Weyl representations are each other's complex conjugate complex representations. This happens if $s-t~=~2mod 4$.
Self-conjugated means that the left and right Weyl representations are (pseudo) real representations. This happens if $s-t~=~0mod 4$.
(Weyl representations only exist in even spacetime dimensions $s+t~=~0mod 2$.)
