Geometrical aspects of the two-component neutrino field in general relativity

Abstract
Conditions for the existence of a neutrino field are expressed in terms of spin coefficients. It is shown that a neutrino-gravitational field with positive energy density necessarily defines a null geodesic congruence. The structure of the Ricci tensor is examined and shown to be closely related to the twist and shear of the congruence.
