Classification of singular spinor fields and other mass dimension one fermions

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the constraint equations of the Lounesto spinor fields classification and show that it can be used to completely characterize all the singular classes, which can potentially accommodate further mass dimension one fermions, beyond the well known Elko spinor fields. This result can be useful for two purposes: Besides a great abridgement in the classification of a given spinor field, we provide a general form of each class of spinor fields, which can be used furthermore to search for a general classification of spinors dynamics.
