More about the book
Focusing on the theory of twistors and 2-spinors, this book explores their application to space-time geometry, highlighting their growing significance in understanding physical laws. It offers an in-depth examination of the conformal approach to space-time infinity, discussing general-relativistic mass and angular momentum. Additionally, the text provides a thorough spinorial classification of the full space-time curvature tensor and delves into the geometry of null geodesics, making it a valuable resource for those studying advanced concepts in physics and mathematics.
