September 2005 Conference On The Present Status of Quantum Mechanics at Mali Losinj (46 of 82)

Pure spinors, discovered by Cartan, who named them "simple" and by Chevalley (1954) who renamed them "pure", were recently (2002) rediscovered as instrumental for some progress in "the" problem of super gravity. This rediscovery is attracting the attention of both theoretical physicists and mathematicians on pure spinor geometry and of its possible fundamental role in quantum mechanics of elementary particles.
