In the Newman–Penrose (NP) formalism of general relativity, Weyl scalars refer to a set of five complex scalars which encode the ten independent components of the Weyl tensors of a four-dimensional spacetime. ==Definitions== Given a complex null tetrad and with the convention , the Weyl-NP scalars are defined by〔Jeremy Bransom Griffiths, Jiri Podolsky.
