✦ Synopsis

This book is a self-contained introduction to key topics in advance general relativity. The opening chapter reviews the subject, with strong emphasis on the geometric structures underlying the theory. The second chapter discusses 2-component spinor theory, its usefulness for describing zero-mass fields and its practical application via Newman-Penrose formalism, together with examples and applications.
