This volume introduces the application of two-component spinor
calculus and fibre-bundle theory to complex general relativity. A
review of basic and important topics is presented, such as
two-component spinor calculus, conformal gravity, twistor spaces
for Minkowski space-time and for curved space-time, Penrose
transform for gravitation, the global theory of the Dirac operator
in Riemannian four-manifolds, various definitions of twistors in
curved space-time and the recent attempt by Penrose to define
twistors as spin-3/2 charges in Ricci-flat space-time. Original
results include some geometrical properties of complex space-times
with nonvanishing torsion, the Dirac operator with locally
supersymmetric boundary conditions, the application of
spin-lowering and spin-raising operators to elliptic boundary value
problems, and the Dirac and Rarita--Schwinger forms of spin-3/2
potentials applied in real Riemannian four-manifolds with boundary.
This book is written for students and research workers interested
in classical gravity, quantum gravity and geometrical methods in
field theory. It can also be recommended as a supplementary
graduate textbook.
