    Spinors for an arbitrary Minkowski space with signature (tt, ss) are reassessed in connection with DD-dimensional free Dirac action. The possibility of writing down kinetic and mass terms for charge-conjugated spinors is discussed in terms of the number of time-like directions of the space-time.Comment: 6 pages (latex

    Space-time defects :Domain walls and torsion

    Get PDF
    The theory of distributions in non-Riemannian spaces is used to obtain exact static thin domain wall solutions of Einstein-Cartan equations of gravity. Curvature δ \delta -singularities are found while Cartan torsion is given by Heaviside functions. Weitzenb\"{o}ck planar walls are caracterized by torsion δ\delta-singularities and zero curvature. It is shown that Weitzenb\"{o}ck static thin domain walls do not exist exactly as in general relativity. The global structure of Weitzenb\"{o}ck nonstatic torsion walls is investigated.Comment: J.Math.Phys.39,(1998),Jan. issu
