1. Introduction
Based on the work of Beretetskii et al., Lachieze-Rey, Gori et al., and Cartan, the spinor ψ α is defined as a magnitude components α = 1, 2 expressed as
and its complex conjugate φ˙ in terms of the rotation matrices (see [2],[3],[5],[4] for more details). Based on the work of the aforementioned authors, there are two types of operations on spinors, which are reflections and rotations. In group theory, the set of rotations described by the matrices with complex entries is group SU(2), whose generators are the Pauli matrices, described in the work of Zettili [7]. In regards to rotation matrices, Gori et al. mentioned in their work that rotation matrices originated Pauli matrices in the form of:
being θ the angle of rotation [4]. Beretetskii et al. defined the covariance and contravariance over the spinors by the relation ψ ′1 = ψ 2 , ψ ′2 = −ψ 1 from the matrix
and, similarly, for pointed spinors, ψ 1˙ = ψ 2 , ψ 2˙ −ψ 1 [3]. The same author defined bispinors as the pair (ψ α , φ α˙ ), which form a broader group of Lorentz, and, with them, the scalar product is formulated as (ψ α , φ α˙ ) · (f α , h α˙ ). The author of the reference [5] mentions algebra Cl(3) as a space-time formulation generated by vectors e µ , which form a basis for ℝ 1,3 that satisfies the relation e µ · e ν = g µν , inducing a 16-membered basis, as described below:
1 scalar,
2 (e 0 , e 1 , e 2 , e 3) 4-vector,
3 (e 0 e 1 , e 0 e 2 , e 0 e 3 , e 1 e 2 , e 2 e 3 , e 3 e 1) 6- bivectors,
4 (e 1 e 2 e 3 , e 0 e 2 e 3 , e 0 e 1 e 3 , e 0 e 1 e 2) 4-trivectors,
5 e 5 ≡ e 0 e 1 e 2 e 3 pseudoescalar.
In accordance with the previous statements, the same author described the Weyl spinors as
and the Dirac spinor
as defined in the work of Beretetskii et al [3].
The q-Lorentzian algebra was defined in the reference [1]. The quantum complex spinors have components ψ1 and ψ2 and conjugates φ1 and φ˙ . They meet the following q-relations.
Definition 1.1. Considering spinors ψ α , φ α and {τ 1 , T 2 , S 1 , σ 2} as the generators of the q-Lorentzian algebra for the group U q (su(2)) [6], we have:

Likewise, the conjugated Pauli matrices are:
The inverse Pauli matrices
Finally
The purpose of this article is to define the q-Lorentzian spinor variables and q-spinor differential and integral calculus and q-differential spinor equation. The paper is organized in: section 2 where it is presented the q-spinor variables and calculus. In section 3 we present the q-differential spinor equation, and the final section with comments.
2. q-Spinor variables and calculus
Definition 2.1. The q-Lorentzian spinor variables or q-spinor variables are defined according to the expressions (2), (3), and (4) as follows:
Definition 2.2. We consider the set A function on the q-spinor variables is defined as
Definition 2.3. Let f, g: U −→ ℂ be functions and u β ∈ U. The following properties are satisfy on the q-spinor variables, we state some clear properties of the functions on the q-spinor variables

With these results, it is possible to define that q-spinor complex integral formula by the following theorem.
Theorem 2.9. Let Γ q be the closed contour of the deformed quantum complex plane, and u β 0 , v α˙ ⊂ Γ q point spinors contained in the contour. The q-spinor complex integral formulas are defined by:
Proof. d q f is found form (38) and is integrated over closed contour Γ q
the left side of (48) may be equalated to , obtaining
taking into account point spinors, then defined and, by substituting in (49), the following is obtained:
The expressions (44) and (45) are obtained by equalating terms that depend on f((qu 0) β and f(u β 0 ). The same process is applied to get (46) and (47) from (39).
Example 2.10. Considering the following spinorial function f(v 12) = (v 12)2 , and the point spinor v 12 0 = qv 12 contained in the closed contour Γ q . Applying (46) we have
taking in account the spinorial matrices defined in the Schmidtťs work [6] (check Introduction) and if µ = −, then
and for the case µ = + the integral is zero.
3. q-Differential spinor equation
Based on the Pauli matrices presented in the works of Gori and Zettili [4],[7], 4×4 rotation matrices were defined in the following proposition.
Proposition 3.1. The 4 × 4 rotation matrices can be expressed as follows:
With these rotation matrices, we can propose the following spinors, using as a starting point the definitions proposed by Beretetskii et al and Lachieze [3], [5].
Proposition 3.2. The spinors ψ α β and φ α˙ ˙ can be expressed as follows:
and, when related to (50), spinorial components ψ x , ψ y , ψ z , φ x˙ , φ y˙ and φ z˙ are defined
and explicitly:
These expressions are conveyed as:
Remark 3.3. Beretetskii et al., define the bispinors as the pair (ψ α , φ α˙ ), formulating product between bispinors [3]:
3.1. Spinorial partial differential equation
Definition 3.4. Let ψ α β , ψ x , ψ y , ψ z , ψ 0 β be functions in C, and a, b, f are also constants in C. The partial spinor differential equation is given by:
where ψ x , ψ y , ψ z are defined in (54) and spinors ψ 0 β , ψ α β are expressed as
and, similarly, for pointed components:
and the spinors φ x˙ , φ y˙ , φ z˙ are given in (55) and φ 0 α˙ , φ α˙ ˙ are expressed as:
The following theorem shows the solutions of equations (58) and (60).
Theorem 3.5. For θ = π/2, the solutions of equations(58) and (60) are given by:
Proof. Taking θ = π/2 in (54), these spinors are obtained:
and, taking the real part, we find
and replacing (66) in (58), we obtain the following system of partial differential equations
Applying the method to solve partial differential equations by separation of variables in (70); in other words, by defining ψ β = F (x)G(y)H(z), we obtain
equating each component to the separation constants α, β:
Therefore, the solution is given by
To find ψ α , (77) is replaced in (69), resulting in
On the other hand, for the pointed spinors described by eq. (60), the same angle θ = π/2 is used in (55), resulting in the following system of differential equations:
and, by solving equation (82) in the same way as it was done in (70) and defining φ β ˙ as the product of functions M(x)N(y)P (z), the following expressions analogous to (72 - 75) are obtained:
and substituting the solutions for M(x), N(y) and P (z) into the product M(x)N(y)P (z), we have
which corresponds to (64). Now, to obtain φ α˙ , the previous solution is substituted in (80), multiplied by dy, and finally, integrated both sides to obtain (65). Regarding the terms u αβ , v αβ , u αβ , v αβ , these are the coefficients of the previously mentioned solutions.
3.2. The lorentzian q-spinor differential equations
Definition 3.6. We consider the q-Lorentzian spinor variables x β , y α˙ ∈ ℂ, and a function f: ℂ → ℂ. The q-Lorentzian differential equations are defined as:
Lemma 3.7. The solutions of (89) and (90) over the contour Γ q can be written as
Proof. In order to solve (89), it is sufficient to use (46), resulting:
integrating both sides over the contour Γ q
taking into account (46) finally
The same process is applied to get (92) from (90).
4. Comments
In section 3, a combination of the q-Lorentzian algebra formalism and the deformed complex vari-able is proposed based on section 2, though the latter is not explicit in the literature. Nevertheless, its development can be totally formulated from its derivatives mentioned in expressions (38) and (39), and its spinor contour integral q-forms, described by (44) - (47). These last expressions contain deformed spin matrices (σµ) αβ), (σ −1 µ )αβ˙ defined in Schmidt work [6]. It should be empha-sized, that in this case, these matrices are formulated in the Minkowski space and that they are also spin-boson matrices. Hopefully, in future works, the spinor complex q-variable formulation can be achieved, but for the fermionic part. In section 3, a spinor partial differential equation (given by (58)) was proposed, and its solutions are given by theorem 4. Its solutions were obtained using angle θ = π/2. Clearly, (77) and (87) are not unique, which means that, when the rotation angle varies, other solutions are obtained; consequently, other spinor deformed algebras are obtained. For future works on this matter, it is possible to propose the formalism of a general expression of the spinor partial differential equation. Using this formalism, it is possible to formulate another kind of relativistic wave equation as spinor representation substituting a = −iℏc, b = mc 2 y f = E, obtaining
and its interpretation in their solutions. It is important to consider that this formulation was done without deformation. Other suggestion for further work, is the problem of describing the q-relativistic wave equation
for some Minkowskian-valued spinors
and is subject to Pauli matrices in the Minkowskian space proposed in [1].
