In the first part of this article we revisit the theory of weighted spinors on conformal manifolds. In the second part we introduce the notions of asymptotically flat Weyl structures and of associated mass, and we prove a conformal version…

A 3+1 decomposition of the twistor and valence-2 Killing spinor equation is made using the space spinor formalism. Conditions on initial data sets for the Einstein vacuum equations are given so that their developments contain solutions to…

The exceptional adhesion properties of biological fibrillar structures -- such as those found in geckos -- have inspired the development of synthetic adhesive surfaces. Among these, mushroom-shaped fibrils have demonstrated superior…

We prove a new geometric inequality that relates the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner mass of initial data to a quasilocal angular momentum of a marginally future trapped surface inner boundary. The inequality is expressed in terms of a 1-spinor,…

A massive rigid particle model in $(3+1)$ dimensions is reformulated in terms of twistors. Beginning with a first-order Lagrangian, we establish a twistor representation of the Lagrangian for a massive particle with rigidity. The twistorial…

The theory of spinors is developed for locally anisotropic (la) spaces, in brief la-spaces, which in general are modeled as vector bundles provided with nonlinear and distinguished connections and metric structures (such la-spaces contain…

We prove that biholomorphisms between the transport twistor spaces of simple or Anosov surfaces exhibit rigidity: they must be, up to constant rescaling and the antipodal map, the lift of an orientation preserving isometry.
