Title: "Lorentzian Spinors and their application in supersymmetry"

Abstract: Spinors (Weyl, Dirac, Majorana) play a very special role in physics. The
basic constituent of (observed) matter are fermions described by
equations involving spinors.
From mathematical point of view spinors belong to complex representations
of the real (Lorentz or Euclidean) groups. Because of this they entangle
together real and complex geometry. It will demonstrated how to untangle
this issue by introducing  proper mathematical tools. As an example of the
application spinorial charges in super-Poincare algebra will be discussed.
