چکیده

We present a new, simple proof of existence for the Lanczos spinor potential in 3+1 dimensions that introduces a potential T ABCD = T (ABC)D of the Lanczos potential together with several generalizations to other index configurations and metric signatures. The potential T ABCD can also be used to express, in a concise way, the gauge freedom left in the Lanczos potential after the differential gauge has been specified. We consider Einstein spacetimes and prove that in those spacetimes any symmetric (3,1)-spinor possesses a symmetric potential H ABA ′ B ′. Potentials of this type have earlier occurred in some special cases investigated e.g., by Torres del Castillo, Bergqvist and ourselves.

We give new simple direct proofs in all spacetimes for the existence of asymmetric (n, m + 1)-spinor potentials for completely symmetric (n + 1, m)-spinors and for the existence of symmetric (n, 1)-spinor potentials for symmetric (n + 1, 0)-spinors. These proofs introduce a 'superpotential', i.e., a potential of the potential, which also enables us to get explicit statements of the gauge freedo...

This paper shows how to obtain the spinor field and dynamics from the vielbein and geometry of General Relativity. The spinor field is physically realized as an orthogonal transformation of the vielbein, and the spinor action enters as the requirement that the unit time form be the gradient of a scalar time field.

We generalize previous work on Dirac eigenvalues as dynamical variables of Euclidean supergravity. The most general set of constraints on the curvatures of the tangent bundle and on the spinor bundle of the spacetime manifold, under which spacetime addmits Dirac eigenvalues as observables, are derived.

It is explicitly shown that the class of algebro-geometrical (finite-gap) solutions of the Ernst equation constructed several years ago in [1] contains the solutions recently constructed by R.Meinel and G.Neugebauer [2] as a subset.
