Consider 4D spacetime, it seems that for massless particles, we can easily change
- the left-handed complex Weyl spinor basis (2 component in complex $\mathbb{C}$ for Euclidean spacetime Spin(4))
to
- the real Majorana spinor basis (4 component in real $\mathbb{R}$ for Euclidean spacetime Spin(4))
So naively, we can change N left-handed complex Weyl spinors to N real Majorana spinors
However, the internal flavor symmetry of the N left-handed complex Weyl spinors is $G_{Weyl}=$ U(N).
Puzzle 1: What are the internal flavor symmetry of N real Majorana spinors? $G_{Majorana}=?$ Is that O(N) or O(2N)?
Puzzle 2: Why the internal flavor symmetry of the N left-handed complex Weyl spinors different from N real Majorana spinors?
Thanks for your attention !
