The conformal invariance of the coupled spinor-vector fields

  • 1. Selkirk Coll., Castelgar, British Columbia (Canada)

Description

Conformal invariance of the coupled spinor–vector fields in Minkowski space is reviewed. The conservation laws corresponding to this 15-parameter Lie group are found and shown to be similar to those found by Bessel-Hagen for classical electrodynamics. Gauge invariance is maintained throughout. A brief consideration of the meaning of the conformal transformation is also given.
