Bilkent Üniversitesi ODTÜ-Bilkent Cebirsel Geometri Seminerleri
A rank-4 tensor Riemann would have loved plus spinor-techniques in differential geometry
Bayram Tekin
Bilkent, Türkiye
I would like to discuss two topics that have proved very useful in the parts of differential geometry used in General Relativity and other theories of gravity. The first one is the introduction of a divergence-free rank 4 tensor which was hiding in plain sight up until our paper ( Phys. Rev. D 99 (2019) 4, 044026). The second topic will include formulating differential geometry in terms of Weyl spinors which are fundamental representations of SL(2,C).
NOT:
One day before the seminar, an announcement with the Zoom meeting link will be sent to those who registered with Sertöz. If you have registered before for one of the previous talks, there is no need to register again; you will automatically receive a link for this talk too. If you have not registered before, please contact him at sertoz@bilkent.edu.tr.
