Description for Spinors in Four-Dimensional Spaces
hardcover. Aims at graduate students and researchers in mathematical and theoretical physics interested in the applications of the two-component spinor formalism in any four-dimensional vector space or Riemannian manifold with a definite or indefinite metric tensor. Series: Progress in Mathematical Physics. Num Pages: 185 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBF; PBG; PBW; PHU. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 12.

Without using the customary Clifford algebras frequently studied in connection with the representations of orthogonal groups, this book gives an elementary introduction to the two-component spinor formalism for four-dimensional spaces with any signature. Some of the useful applications of four-dimensional spinors, such as Yang-Mills theory, are derived in detail using illustrative examples. Spinors in Four-Dimensional Spaces is aimed at graduate students and researchers in mathematical and theoretical physics interested in the applications of the two-component spinor formalism in any four-dimensional vector space or Riemannian manifold with a definite or indefinite metric tensor. This systematic and self-contained book is suitable ... Read more

Reviews for Spinors in Four-Dimensional Spaces
From the reviews: “This is a very welcome addition to the bookshelves of those for whom it is mainly intended: graduate students and more experienced researchers using spinors in relativity or quantum field theory. It is a detailed and careful explanation, beginning with the important algebraic steps, and pushing carefully onward to the use of spinors to make powerful ... Read more
