An irreducible complex Clifford algebra module in even spacetime dimension 2k has dimension 2k and splits under the connected Spin group into two Weyl spinor modules of dimension 2k−1. In odd dimension 2k+1, an irreducible spinor still has dimension 2k but has no Weyl splitting. Reality conditions depend on signature and are additional to these complex counts.
