For infinisesimal bispinor transformations we have δΨ=12ωμνημνΨ,δˉΨ=−12ωμνˉΨημν,ημν=−14(γμγν−γνγμ).(.1)
Answer
By Noether’s theorem, the generators of the Lorentz group are the zero components of the currents, i.e., the Lorentz charges:
Sαβ=S0,αβ=iˉΨγ0ηαβΨ=Ψ†ηαβΨ
These charges generate the Lorentz transformations on the spinors by the canonical Poisson brackets:
{Ψ,Ψ†}P.B.=−iI
(With all other Poisson combinations vanishing). The Poisson brackets can be obtained from the time derivative term in the Dirac Lagrangian:
iΨ†∂0Ψ
Which implies that iΨ† is the canonical momentum of Ψ, thus satisfies the canonical Poisson brackets.
The action of the Lorentz charges correctly generates the Lorentz transformation:
δΨ={12ωαβSαβ,Ψ†}P.B.=12ωαβηαβΨ
