Spinors in Four-Dimensional Spaces Hardback
by Gerardo F. Torres del Castillo
Part of the Progress in Mathematical Physics series
Hardback
Description
Without using the customary Clifford algebras frequently studied in connection with the representations of orthogonal groups, this book gives an elementary introduction to the two-component spinor formalism for four-dimensional spaces with any signature.
Some of the useful applications of four-dimensional spinors, such as Yang-Mills theory, are derived in detail using illustrative examples. Spinors in Four-Dimensional Spaces is aimed at graduate students and researchers in mathematical and theoretical physics interested in the applications of the two-component spinor formalism in any four-dimensional vector space or Riemannian manifold with a definite or indefinite metric tensor.
This systematic and self-contained book is suitable as a seminar text, a reference book, and a self-study guide.
