Sparling (Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Pittsburgh | Abstract: | We analyze a class of linear wave equations for odd half spin that have a well posed initial value problem. We demonstrate consistency of the equations in curved space-times. They generalize the Weyl neutrino equation. We show that there exists an associated invariant exact set of spinor fields indicating that the characteristic initial value problem on a null cone is formally solvable, even for the system coupled to general relativity. We derive the general analytic solution in flat space by means of Fourier transforms. Finally, we present a twistor contour integral description for the general analytic solution and assemble a representation of the group $O(4,4)$ on the solution space. | Source: | arXiv, gr-qc/9511036 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
