The twistor equation in Lorentzian spin geometry (Q1762722): Difference between revisions

The authors investigate the twistor equation in Lorentzian spin geometry with the goal of determining the local conformal geometry of those Lorentzian manifolds which admit twistor spinors inducing light-like Dirac currents. They also derive all local geometries with singularity-free twistor spinors in dimension \(n\leq 7\). Contents include: An introduction; The twistor equation on spinors; Twistor spinors on Lorentzian spin manifolds with examples (Brinkmann spaces with a special Kähler flag, Einstein-Sasaki manifolds, and Fefferman spaces); Twistor spinors inducing light-like Dirac currents; and Twistor spinors in dimension \(n\leq 7\), and a bibliography of 39 items.
