Higher-dimensional gamma matrices
In mathematical physics, higher-dimensional gamma matrices generalize to arbitrary dimension the four-dimensional Gamma matrices of Dirac, which are a mainstay of relativistic quantum mechanics. They are utilized in relativistically invariant wave equations for fermions (such as spinors) in arbitrary space-time dimensions, notably in string theory and supergravity.
Consider a space-time of dimension with the flat Minkowski metric,
: \eta = \parallel \eta_ \parallel = \text(+1,-1, \dots, -1) ~,

where . Set . The standard Dirac matrices correspond to taking .
The higher gamma matrices are a -long sequence of complex matrices \Gamma_i,\ i=0,\ldots,d-1 which satisfy the anticommutator relation from the Clifford algebra (generating a representation for it),
: \ = \Gamma_a\Gamma_b + \Gamma_b\Gamma_a = 2 \eta_ I_N ~,
where is the identity matrix in dimensions. (The spinors acted on by these matrices have components in dimensions.) Such a sequence exists for all values of and can be constructed explicitly, as provided below.
The gamma matrices have the following property under hermitian conjugation,
: \Gamma_0^\dagger= +\Gamma_0 ~,~ \Gamma_i^\dagger= -\Gamma_i
~(i=1,\dots,d-1) ~.
== Charge conjugation ==
Since the groups generated by are the same, we can look for a similarity transformation which connects them all. This transformation is generated by a respective charge conjugation matrix.
Explicitly, we can introduce the following matrices
: C_ \Gamma_a C_^ = + \Gamma_a^T
: C_ \Gamma_a C_^ = - \Gamma_a^T ~.
They can be constructed as real matrices in various dimensions, as the following table shows. In even dimension both C_\pm exist, in odd dimension just one.
