About Twistor Spinors with Zero in Lorentzian Geometry

We describe the local conformal geometry of a Lorentzian spin manifold (M,g) admitting a twistor spinor φ with zero. Moreover, we describe the shape of the zero set of φ. If φ has isolated zeros then the metric g is locally conformally equivalent to a static monopole. In the other case the zero set...
