| Jan 9, 2015 at 18:16 | comment | added | Liviu Nicolaescu | Have a look at Chapter 11 of these notes www3.nd.edu/~lnicolae/Lectures.pdf | |
| Jan 9, 2015 at 18:03 | comment | added | Bombyx mori | @Jjm: I do not understand. What kind of generalization are you looking for? | |
| Jan 9, 2015 at 17:50 | comment | added | Jjm | @CarloBeenakker The definition of Wikipedia is clear, but (perhaps I should have included it in the question, sorry) since the most natural setting seems to be the spin bundles, it would be nice to approach the question in this specific setting, so that the further generalisation and simplification of a Dirac operator (because the formal definition is very simple) has its own natural meaning. | |
| Jan 9, 2015 at 17:43 | comment | added | Qiaochu Yuan | There are a number of references that will answer this question, for example Lawson-Michelson, Berline-Getzler-Vergne... | |
| Jan 9, 2015 at 17:28 | comment | added | Bombyx mori | Is this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford_analysis relevant to you? I suspect this might be what you see on the physics side. | |

| Jan 9, 2015 at 17:08 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | concerning you last question: Bohr asked Dirac, and this was the answer: “What are you working on Mr. Dirac?” --- “I’m trying to take the square root of something” (that something being the Schrodinger equation) | |
| Jan 9, 2015 at 17:06 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | perhaps it would help if you would indicate in what respect the Wikipedia entry is unclear/insufficient? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_operator | |
