Wave equations for gravitons with sources within the frameworks of the Infeld-van der Waerden spinor formalisms

摘要

The gravitational Bianchi identity tied in with the Infeld-van der Waerden γε-formalisms is utilized to write down a set of field equations for gravitons. In either formalism, the right-hand sides of the respective field equations exhibit covariant differential configurations that may be looked upon as physically meaningful sources. Certain calculational techniques are subsequently employed to carry out a derivation of new wave equations. It appears that such wave equations constitute a formal extension of the gravitational two-component-spinor statements given hitherto.
