There are three important special cases that can be constructed from Weyl spinors. One is the Dirac spinor, which can be taken to be a pair of Weyl spinors, one left-handed, and one right-handed. These are coupled together in such a way as to represent an electrically charged fermion field. The electric charge arises because the Dirac field transforms under the action of the complexified spin group S p i n C ( p , q ) . This group has the structure
