Abstract
The purpose of the present paper is to give as simple an account as possible of the general-relativity theory of two-component spinors, and to investigate its geometrical and analytical consequences. The work was suggested by courses of lectures given at Edinburgh in 1932 and 1935 by Professor E. T. Whittaker, who, on the basis of the special-relativity spinor theory of van der Waerden (1929), obtained the completely tensorized form of Dirac's equations given by him in a recent paper (1937).Keywords
