Twistors have, in recent years, attracted increasing attention as a mathematical tool and as a means of gaining new insights into the structure of physical laws. This volume also includes a comprehensive treatment of the conformal approach to space-time infinity with results on general-relativistic mass and angular momentum, a detailed spinorial classification of the full space-time curvature tensor, and an account of the geometry of null geodesics Spinor analysis,Space and time,Geometry, Differential,Mathematical physics,Vật lý toán Nguyên Trung tâm Học liệu Trường Đại học Cần Thơ
