Abstract

In this work we study the Dirac spinores in 1 +1 dimensions from the point of view of cyclic representations. Various cyclic representations are defined by a choice of Dirac matrices α and β such that  e , com . For each of the representations are determined spinors for particles and antiparticles in explicit form. There were also found transformations between the spinors and the Dirac matrices in various cyclical representations in explicit form. There were also discussed some properties of the transformations and the spinors obtained.
