Pure spinor

Summary

In the domain of mathematics known as representation theory, pure spinors (or simple spinors) are spinors that are annihilated, under the Clifford algebra representation, by a maximal isotropic subspace of a vector space VV with respect to a scalar product QQ. They were introduced by Élie Cartan in the 1930s and further developed by Claude Chevalley.
