A spin-coefficient approach to space–times with torsion

The Newman–Penrose formalism, which has been extremely useful in general relativity, is extended to include the possibility of space–times with torsion. Initially Riemann–Cartan geometry is discussed and the torsion and contortion tensors are defined. The possible alternative but equivalent approach...
