The Petrov-Penrose types of Pleba\'nski spinors associated with the traceless Ricci tensor are given. Finally, the classification is compared with a similar classification in the complex case
is constructed algebraically using the metric tensor and the traceless part of the Ricci tensor where g a b is the metric tensor . The Weyl tensor or conformal curvature tensor is completely traceless, in the sense that taking the trace, or contraction , over any pair of indices gives zero. Ricci curvature tensor plays an important role in general relativity, where it is the key term in the Einstein field equations. It is known, the Ricci tensor defined by the Riemannian curvature The Ricci curvature, or trace component of the Riemann tensor contains precisely the information about how volumes change in the presence of tidal forces, so the Weyl tensor is the traceless component of the Riemann tensor.

We present the coordinate transformations which transform the diagonal Minkowski metric tensor in a metric tensor with all zero diagonal components. Some of stable metric g , if the L2 norm of the traceless Ricci tensor Tg is small relative to suitable geometric quantities, then one can deform g to an Einstein metric through the Ricci flow. The concept "stability" is defined as follows. (Hence-forth we omit the subscript g in notations for geometric quantities associated with g.)

Oct 10, 2005 · The first piece, the scalar part, is so called because it is built out of the curvature scalar and the metric. The second piece, the semi-traceless piece, is built out of the metric and the traceless Ricci tensor (hence the name semi-traceless). The third piece is what is left over and is called the Weyl tensor. tensor into irreducible components (Singer & Thorpe I 969):-e (trA, B, A -.ktrA, C-.3tr C), where trA =trC = scalar curvature, B is the traceless Ricci tensor and the last two components, which we denote W+ and W11, together give the conformally invariant Weyl tensor, W = W+ + W . Note that the metric is Einstein iff B = 0, conformally flat
