Q&A on String Theory Course Indices/QFT

[fzero]

so to summarise, the transformation in Minkowski space (the first one i wrote down) had latin indices because in Minkowski space we can define spinor transformations and this will hold in any basis so we can move to abstract indices.

However, in a curved spacetime we cannot define spinor transformations so we need to move to flat spacetime (where we use greek indices) and the objects we use in the second transformation I wrote down will be related to their corresponding curved space quantities using veirbeins?

Roughly correct. As far as the curved-space quantities, I can't see any reason why you would learn anything from transforming the local Lorentz transformation matrix into curved indices.

This is beyond me...
