Abstract
It is shown, by using Grassmann space to describe the internal degrees of freedom of fermions and bosons, that the Weyl-like equation exists not only for massless fermions but also for massless vector bosons. T he corresponding states have well defined helicity and handedness. It is also shown that spinors and vector bosons interact only if both are of the same handedness.
