A spinor reformulation of the null surface treatment of GR
- Abstract:
-
We begin with a four-dimensional manifold, Script M sign, that possesses a two parameter family of (local) foliations by three-surfaces, with the two parameters being the coordinates on the sphere of directions at each point of the manifold expressed via homogeneous coordinates πA and πA′. By then requiring that each foliation (of the two parameter set of foliations) be a one parameter family of null surfaces for some (as yet unkown) conformal Lorentzian metric - we derive an explicit express...
