Chiral gamma-matrix representation

For signature $+---$, use ${\gamma }^0=\left(\begin{array}{cc}0& I_2\\ I_2& 0\end{array}\right)$ and ${\gamma }^i=\left(\begin{array}{cc}0& {\sigma }^i\\ -{\sigma }^i& 0\end{array}\right)$, where ${\sigma }^i$ are Pauli matrices. Their Clifford algebra follows directly from the Pauli anticommutator. The chirality matrix is ${\gamma }^5=\mathrm{diag}(-I_2,I_2)$, separating the two chiral components of a Dirac spinor.
