AbstractIt is proved that the matrix algebra for any relativistic wave equation of half-odd integral spin can be factorized as the direct product of a Dirac algebra and another, called a ξ-algebra. The structure and representation of ξ-algebras are studied in detail. The factorization simplifies calculations with particles of spin > ½, because the ξ-algebra contains only one-sixteenth as many elements as the original matrix algebra.
