Abstract
We consider arbitrary-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian spaces of signature . We introduce a boost-weight decomposition and define a number of algebraic properties (e.g., the - and -properties) and present a boost-weight decomposition to classify the Weyl tensors of arbitrary signature and discuss degenerate algebraic types (e.g., VSI spaces). We consider the four dimensional neutral signature space as an illustration.
