Description
Summary:碩士 === 淡江大學 === 物理學系碩士班 === 102 === This thesis is an introduction to the 2-spinor formalism. First we discuss the spinor algebra, and derive some important properties of the spinor space. Then, we consider some physical fields, and try to translate them into spinor form. In there, we choose the electromagnetic field, with classification in both the tensor and the spinor forms. After that we study the Weyl spinor and work out the algebraic type of the Schwarzschild solution.
