| Jun 5, 2015 at 18:48 | comment | added | Bosoneando | @HareKrishna No, gamma matrices are elements of the Clifford algebra associated with the spinorial (i.e., spin 1/2) represenatation of the Lorentz field. There are other representations (the ones that I talked about in my answer) that are not constructed from gamma matrices, but that follow the same Lie algebra. | |
| Jun 5, 2015 at 18:03 | comment | added | Hare Krishna | is that all representation having gamma matrices anti commutation relation ?.then they are typically same.meaning changing spin does not change the entire representation. | |

| Jun 5, 2015 at 17:46 | comment | added | Bosoneando | @HareKrishna In the first paragraph, I've given you examples of other representations, and in the rest of my answer I've explained that the conserved quantity is always spin: the difference is what the value of spin is (I will expand on this) | |
| Jun 5, 2015 at 17:43 | comment | added | Hare Krishna | actually i am asking that whether there exist another representation like spinor of lorentz group. what is the conserved quantity associated of them. | |
