TL;DR
This paper demonstrates that c-number elko spinors are equivalent to Weyl spinors and satisfy the massless Dirac equation, challenging their classification as a new spinor type with unique properties.
Contribution
The study clarifies that elko spinors are not a new class but are equivalent to Weyl spinors, revising their theoretical status.
Findings
Elko spinors obey the massless Dirac equation.
Elko spinors are unitarily equivalent to Weyl bispinors.
They do not have a distinct mass dimension one property.
Abstract
It is shown that c-number elko spinors obey the massless Dirac equation and are unitarily equivalent to Weyl bispinors. Therefore, they do not constitute a new spinor type with mass dimension one.
