Spinors theory. Cartan E.

The theory of Spinors attracts great attention to physicists due to its important physical applications. Regardless of these applications, the theory of Spinors of the N-dimensional spaces was opened by one of the greatest geometers of the XX century. E. Cardan in 1913. The book of E. Cartan proposed to the reader was written in 1938, after the spinors were redesigned by Van der Varden in 1928 in connection with the physical studies of Dirac.

This book on the general theory of Spinors, written by its creator, is of great interest - both scientific and historical. The presentation of E. Kartan is characterized by geometric visualization and depth of ideas. The book will be useful both to specialists engaged in the theory of Spinors and their application in physics, as well as historians of science and all those interested in the problems under consideration.
