How to generate spinor representations in any dimension in terms of projection operators
read the original abstract
We present a method to find solutions of the Weyl or the Dirac equation without specifying a representation choice for $\gamma^a$'s. By taking $\gamma^a$'s formally as independent variables, we construct solutions out of $2^d$ orthonormal polynomials of $\gamma^a$'s (in $d$-dimensional space) operating on a ``vacuum state''. Polynomials reduce into $2^{d/2}$ or $2^{(d+1)/2}$ repetitions of the Dirac spinors for $d$ even or odd, respectively. We further propose the corresponding graphic presentation of basic states, which offers an easy way to see all the quantum numbers of states with respect to the generators of the Lorentz group, as well as transformation properties of the states under any operator.

A new way to unify all fermion and boson fields, including gravity
Basis vectors built from gamma^a operators in d=14 unify all fermion families and boson fields with equal internal state counts under the restriction to 4D angular momentum.
