| contents | The nonlinearity of the conformal group is an essential factor that ruins the global conformal invariance for interacting material fields. In this paper we attempt to track such nonlinearity from spacetime transformations to spinor representations. To this end we rederive the spinor representation by generalizing the linear fractional transformation from two dimensions to four dimensions via replacing complex numbers with biquaternions. To check the effect of the nonlinearity we apply the translations and special conformal transformations (SCTs) to Dirac spinors in certain interactions. These two transformations do not lead to nonlinear terms in Yukawa term, but do in vector-spinor interaction. And the nonlinear terms would definitely cause $CP$ violation. |
