Potential of Fields in Einstein's Theory of Gravitation
«
“The book is definitely written in the style and notation familiar to the physicist community and might be useful for young physicist students who want to rapidly access a practical knowledge on the Lanczos potential method.” (Gabor Etesi, zbMATH 1434.83002, 2020)

This book presents a detailed study of the Lanczos potential in general relativity by using tetrad formalisms. It demonstrates that these formalisms offer some simplifications over the tensorial methods, and investigates a general approach to finding the Lanczos potential for algebraic space-time by translating all the tensorial relations concerning the Lanczos potential into the language of tetrad formalisms and using the Newman-Penrose and Geroch-Held-Penrose formalisms.
