Abstract
This together with Sections 3 and 6 of the joint contribution with A. Trautman (this volume, pp. 433 to be referred to as Mayer-Trautman) constitutes a summary of the first two lectures. Much of the material is available elsewhere [1], so only results and some open questions are discussed. The subject matter of the second two lectures is treated in the following contribution (pp. 491).
Lectures given at the XX. Internationale Universitätswochen für Kernphysik, Schladming, Austria, February 17–26, 1981.
