contents The basis of spinors in three-dimensional Euclidean space is expressed by differential forms. Its expression is found from the spectral decomposition of the modified Hamiltonian describing Weyl semimetals where the wavenumber parameters are replaced by the differential forms. The generalization of the definitions of differential forms including not only fractional powers but also any algebraic functions is justified by algebraic extension of the symmetric Fock space isomorphic to multivariable polynomial ring. We furthermore define the inner product for these fractional-order differential forms written in two ways; the formal power series and the multiple integral. While the norms of the powers $\mathrm{d}s^{2ν}$ are reduced to the variant of Dyson's integral and have the value $2ν+1$, possibly related to the dimension of irreducible representation, the norm of two-component spinor is given by the integral \[I=\frac{2}π\int_{x^2+y^2\ge 1 \& 0\le x \le 1 \& 0 \le y \le 1}\frac{xy\mathrm{d}x\mathrm{d}y}{\sqrt{(1-x)(1-y)(x^2+y^2-1)}}=\frac{4\sqrt{2}}π\int_0^1\frac{(1+\sqrt{z})}{(1+z)^3}\big[2E(z)-(1-z)K(z)\big]\mathrm{d}z\simeq 1.774, \] where $K(z)$ and $E(z)$ are the complete elliptic integrals of the first and second kind, respectively. The product can also be generalized to include one parameter $p$ analogous to those in $L^p$ space, reducing to the original one when $p=2$. The norm with $p=\infty$ is considered as an example and the result for $ ν=-\frac{1}{2} $ is written by the Watson-Iwata integral. We also discuss the ambiguity of the definition of the spinor under coordinate rotation originating from Berry's phase, and point out that if we heuristically set $\mathrm{d}s=0$, the ambiguity disappears, though its implication remains unclear.

The basis of spinors in three-dimensional Euclidean space is expressed by differential forms. Its expression is found from the spectral decomposition of the modified Hamiltonian describing Weyl semimetals where the wavenumber parameters are replaced by the differential forms.
