The two dimensional version of the Sen connection for spinors and tensors on spacelike 2-surfaces is constructed. A complex metric γ AB on the spin spaces is found which characterizes both the algebraic and extrinsic geometrical properties of the 2-surface $. The curvature of the two dimensional Sen operator ∆ e is the pull back to $ of the anti-self-dual part of the spacetime curvature while i...
متن کاملSpinors, Spin Coefficients and Lanczos Potentials
It has been demonstrated, in a number of special situations, that the spin coefficients of a canonical spinor dyad can be used to define a Lanczos potential of the Weyl curvature spinor. In this paper we explore some of these potentials and show that they can be defined directly from the spinor dyad in a very simple way, but that the results do not generalize significantly, in any direct manner...

We compute the number of linearly independent ways in which a tensor of Weyl type may act upon a given irreducible tensor-spinor bundle V over a Riemannian manifold. Together with the analogous but easier problem involving actions of tensors of Einstein type, this enumerates the possible curvature actions on V.
متن کاملA Spinor Approach to General Relativity
A calculus for general relativity is developed in which the basic role of tensors is taken over by spinors. The Riemann-Christoffel tensor is written in a spinor form according to a scheme of Witten. It is shown that the curvature of empty space can be uniquely characterized by a totally symmetric four-index spinor which satisfies a first order equation formally identical with one for a zero re...
متن کاملSpinor calculus on five-dimensional spacetimes
Penrose’s spinor calculus of four-dimensional Lorentzian geometry is extended to the case of five-dimensional Lorentzian geometry. Such fruitful ideas in Penrose’s spinor calculus as the spin covariant derivative, the curvature spinors, or the definition of the spin coefficients on a spin frame can be carried over to the spinor calculus in five-dimensional Lorentzian geometry. The algebraic and...
