Where can I learn spin connection?

[knightq]

I want to teach Carlo Rovelii's Quantum Gravity by myself, however I got stuck just at beginning , I have never seen the differential form of Einstein equation and the conception of spin connecttion in common textbook such as Wald's, where can I learn these things?Help me!

The spin connection is treated in Wald. For a nice treatment of the vielbein and spin connection formalism, you could consult Sean Carroll's GR notes. For a more rigorous treatment you can take a look in Nakahara's topology and geometry book.

I'm really appreciated !

Also, a lot of supergravity notes give a nice treatment of the subject; for instance, Samtleben's "intro to SUGRA"-notes are really nice (and in my opinion the nicest first glance of SUGRA, if you're interested ;) ).

Good luck with it, and if you have specific questions, just put them here.
