Abstract

It is shown that the conditions Rμμ=0, R00≥0, RαβRβλ=14RρτRρτδαλ, Rαβ|σ=(RρτRρτ)|σRαβ, in the limit that the scalar RαβRαβ vanishes, reproduce the physics of neutrinos. That is, these conditions ensure the existence of a two-component spinor which obeys the Weyl equation and represents a field of completely polarized neutrinos.
