Weyl curvature spinor

ID: weyl-curvature-spinor

The totally symmetric unprimed four-index spinor represents one chiral part of the Weyl tensor. The other part is represented by a primed spinor, conjugate to the unprimed one on a Lorentzian real slice. The trace-free symmetry separates conformal curvature from the Ricci tensor and scalar-curvature terms.
