Description for Complex General Relativity
Paperback. Series: Fundamental Theories of Physics. Num Pages: 206 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBKJ; PBMP; PBMW; PBW; PDE; TBJ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 11. Weight in Grams: 349.
This book is written for theoretical and mathematical physicists and mat- maticians interested in recent developments in complex general relativity and their application to classical and quantum gravity. Calculations are presented by paying attention to those details normally omitted in research papers, for pedagogical r- sons. Familiarity with fibre-bundle theory is certainly helpful, but in many cases I only rely on two-spinor calculus and conformally invariant concepts in gravitational physics. The key concepts the book is devoted to are complex manifolds, spinor techniques, conformal gravity, ?-planes, ?-surfaces, Penrose transform, complex 3 1 – – space-time models with non-vanishing torsion, spin- ...
