Spinor - Wikipedia - Élie Cartan  ## Metadata - Author: **Élie Cartan** - Full Title: Spinor - Wikipedia - Category: #articles - URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinor ## Highlights - In geometry and physics, spinors /spɪnər/ are elements of a complex vector space that can be associated with Euclidean space.[b] Like geometric vectors and more general tensors, spinors transform linearly when the Euclidean space is subjected to a slight (infinitesimal) rotation.[c] However, when a sequence of such small rotations is composed (integrated) to form an overall final rotation, the resulting spinor transformation depends on which sequence of small rotations was used
