Twistors and nearly autoparallel maps (Q1373528)

As is well-known, the twistor equation on a non-conformally flat spacetime \(V\) is not compatible. The authors idea in the present paper is to ``transport'' the twistor equation from the Minkowski space to \(V\) by means of a nearly geodesic map in the sense of \textit{N. S. Sinyukov} [`Geodesic mappings of Riemannian spaces' (Nauka, Moscow) (1979; Zbl 0637.53020)] (or by a chain of such maps). In this way they obtain a spinor equation on \(V\) whose solutions may be considered as twistors on \(V\). The authors also give conditions under which the transformed twistor structure generates to a vacuum Einstein field.
