Among other results, it has evinced classes of spinors which fail to satisfy Dirac equation. The underlying idea and the central aspects of such spinorial categorization are introduced in an argumentative basis, after which we delve into a commented account on recent results obtained from (and within) this branch of research.engbilinear covariantsLorentz groupSpinor classificationResenha10.1142/S0217732317300324Acesso restrito2-s2.0-85032359851
