I know that this is maybe not a research level question, but since the topic is quite special, I thought that the chance to get some reference is higher in this community. I am looking for a reference …

I am studying the tetradic Palatini formalism of general relativity. In this formalism, one usually considers a manifold $M$, which is either non-compact or compact with Euler-characteristic $\chi(M)= …

Currently I study the mathematical formulation of the (classical) standard model of particle physics using the language of gauge theory and spin geometry. One of the central objects in the standard mo …

$\DeclareMathOperator\SU{SU}$In some calculations, I saw the following formula $$\int_{\SU(2)}\,\mathrm{d}g\,D^{j_{1}}_{m_{1}n_{1}}(g)D^{j_{2}}_{m_{2}n_{2}}(g)D^{j_{3}}_{m_{3}n_{3}}(g)=(-1)^{j_{1}+j_{ …

I apologize in advance if this is a too basic question. Let $(M,g)$ be a Lorentzian manifold with signature convention $(-,+,\dots,+)$. Now, lets suppose $X\in\Gamma(TM)$ defines a global time-orienta …

Consider a globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifold $(M,g)$. Then, a well-known result of Bernal-Sánchez (see Theorem 1.1 in arXiv:gr-qc/0401112) states that it can globally be written as $$M=\mathbb{R …

Let $(M,g)$ be a pseudo-Riemannian spin manifold and let us denote by $S$ the spinor bundle, i.e. the associated vector bundle with respect to the spin representation. Usually, the "gamma matrices" ar …
