Geometric Interpretation of the Pauli Spinor.

Frescura, F. A. M.; Hiley, B. J.

American Journal of Physics, v49 n2 p152-57 Feb 1981

Presents a reexamination of an intuitively geometric view of the nonrelativistic Pauli spinor in a simplified discussion of the connection between the rotation group and special transformations in the plane of projection. This view of the spinor is related to those based on the existence of an istropic or null vector. (SK)
