Good book for GR and QM?

[cristianbahena]

hi!
Do you know about a good book that introduces relativistic quantum mechanics with one-forms (diferential forms) like the book a first course of general relativity of Schutz does?

I found this chapter online:

https://www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/files/2011-10-21/rqm_pdf_15296.pdf

Looks like its from a book but I can't seem to find the author. Perhaps someone here can identify it.

Why do you think that relativistic QM can be formulated in terms of one-forms?

That's a great deduction! How did you find it?

The page format resembled Andrew Steane's relativity text... so I thought it was him.
But I couldn't find it on his homepage ( https://users.physics.ox.ac.uk/~Steane/teaching/lecture_course.html )

I then googled the entire first sentence...
"The aim of this chapter..." and brought up several close matches at Oxford...
and somehow (i can't recall exactly how I found Walczak... i spent a few minutes in my browser history trying to remember what I did this morning.)
If you google that entire first sentence, the third link is
https://books.google.com/books?isbn=0198748558
where Walczak is an author and the chapter above is the 6th chapter of that book.
The homepage of the textbook is
