A GENERALIZED KERR-ROBINSON THEOREM
- Abstract:
-
The Kerr and Robinson theorems in four-dimensional spacetime together provide the general null solution of Maxwell's equations. Robinson's theorem reduces the problem to that of obtaining certain null foliations. The Kerr theorem shows how to represent such foliations in terms of analytic varieties in complex projective 3-space. The authors generalise these results to spinor fields of higher valence in spacetimes of arbitrary even dimension. They first review the theory of spinors and twistor...
