Abstract
By associating spin angular momentum with Sp(2) transformations on two Grassmann coordinates, we show how one may formulate spinor wave functions in complete analogy to spherical harmonics for orbital momentum. The relativistic generalization requires a doubling of Grassmann coordinates and a connection may be established with the Dirac equation.
