Abstract

Conformal group of Minkowski space-time M is considered as a group of bundle automorphisms
of a vector bundle U over M. 4-component spin-vectors (4-spinors) are sections of a subbundle of the tangent bundle
over U. Isotropic 4-vectors are images of 4-spinors under projection. This leads to a
particularly clear interpretation of the spin properties of Nature.
