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.
