Complex Geometry of Nature and General Relativity
arXiv:gr-qc/9911051
Abstract
An attempt is made of giving a self-contained introduction to holomorphic ideas in general relativity, following work over the last thirty years by several authors. The main topics are complex manifolds, spinor and twistor methods, heaven spaces.
