Abstract
New mathematical objects called Finslerian N-spinors are discussed. The Finslerian N-spinor algebra is developed. It is found that Finslerian N-spinors are associated with an N2-dimensional flat Finslerian space. A generalization of the epimorphism SL(2, ℂ) → O ↑+ (1, 3) to a case of the group SL(N,ℂ) is constructed. Particular examples of Finslerian N-spinors for N = 2, 3 are considered in detail.
