Classification of the Weyl curvature spinors of neutral metrics in four dimensions (Q2507662)

The geometry of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds equipped with a signature \((n,n)\), also known as neutral geometry, becomes more and more popular nowadays. In this paper the author studies manifolds of neutral metric of four dimensions. He provides an interesting classification of the Weyl curvature spinors by the pattern of principal spinors each admits. This classification is related to the classification of Weyl curvature spinors that the author has given previously, regarded as a curvature endomorphism. The new results are a valuable contribution to a deeper study and a full understanding of the four dimensional neutral geometry.
