书籍简介

《旋量和时空：时空几何中的旋量和扭量方法》介绍了扭转体的理论，并详细研究了如何将扭转体和2-自旋体的理论应用于时空研究。近年来，作为一种数学工具和获得对物理规律结构的新认识的手段，捻线器引起了越来越多的关注。本卷还包括对时空无限的共形方法的处理，包括对一般相对论的质量和角动量的结果，对全部时空曲率张量的详细自旋分类，以及对空测地线的几何学的说明。

Spinor and Twistor Methods in Space-Time Geometry introduces the theory of twistors, and studies in detail how the theory of twistors and 2-spinors can be applied to the study of space-time. Twistors have, in recent years, attracted increasing attention as a mathematical tool and as a means of gaining new insights into the structure of physical laws. This volume also includes a comprehensive treatment of the conformal approach to space-time infinity with results on general-relativistic mass and angular momentum, a detailed spinorial classification of the full space-time curvature tensor, and an account of the geometry of null geodesics.
