Abstract

Factorization of 2-component spinors in the mathematical language of General Relativity is often the starting point of classifications of them. Particular factorizations for the Ricci and Weyl spinors are well known. The determination of factorizations of (p, q) spinors is equivalent to the determination of double or bipartite partitions. Firstly a technique for enumeration of such partitions is given, with explicit calculations up to (4, 4). Secondly a method is devised to actually obtain the factorizations, display them for the Ricci, Weyl and Lanczos-Zund spinors, and then reference the full tabulation up to (4, 4) spinors—the most useful for Relativity.
