The residue-class description of order-two kinematic varieties
The residue-class description of order-two kinematic varieties
Let and be positive integers, and let denote the kinematic variety of order-two spinor brackets, represented by an matrix. Write for the integer part of .
The residue-class description. For , the kinematic variety consists of all symmetric matrices with zero diagonal and rank at most . For , is the variety of skew-symmetric matrices of rank at most .
This would give a uniform description of the order-two kinematic varieties in every spacetime dimension, extending the explicitly established low-dimensional cases. The supplied text does not state whether the claim has been proved or remains open.
