Spin geometry

Spin geometry is a branch of mathematics that studies the properties of shapes and spaces by examining objects called "spinors," which are mathematical entities that extend traditional notions of vectors. These spinors capture how spaces can twist and turn in ways that aren't visible through regular geometry. Spin geometry links algebra, geometry, and physics—particularly in understanding particles with spin in quantum mechanics and the structure of spacetime in relativity. It helps mathematicians and physicists analyze complex spaces, especially those with intricate topological features, providing insights into the fundamental nature of the universe.
