Abstract

It is pointed out that the wave equations for any upper-lower one-index twistor fields which take place in the frameworks of the Infeldvan der Waerden γε-formalisms must be formally the same. The only reason for the occurrence of this result seems to be directly related to the fact that the spinor translation of the traditional conformal Killing equation yields twistor equations of the same form. It thus appears that the conventional torsionless devices for keeping track in the γ-formalism of valences of spinor differential configurations turn out not to be useful for sorting out the typical patterns of the equations at issue.
