On Euclidean spinors and Wick rotations
We propose a continuous Wick rotation for Dirac, Majorana and Weyl spinors from Minkowski spacetime to Euclidean space which treats fermions on the same footing as bosons. The result is a recipe to construct a supersymmetric Euclidean theory from any supersymmetric Minkowski theory. This Wick rotation is identified as a complex Lorentz boost in a five-dimensional space and acts uniformly on bos...
متن کاملParallel and Killing Spinors on Spinc Manifolds
1 We describe in this paper all simply connected Spin c manifolds carrying parallel and real Killing spinors. In particular we show that every Sasakian manifold (not necessarily Einstein) carries a canonical Spin c structure with Killing spinors.
متن کاملVanishing Theorems on Covering Manifolds
Let M be an oriented even-dimensional Riemannian manifold on which a discrete group Γ of orientation-preserving isometries acts freely, so that the quotientX = M/Γ is compact. We prove a vanishing theorem for a half-kernel of a Γ-invariant Dirac operator on a Γ-equivariant Clifford module overM , twisted by a sufficiently large power of a Γ-equivariant line bundle, whose curvature is non-degene...
متن کاملVanishing theorems on Hermitian manifolds
We prove the vanishing of the Dolbeault cohomology groups on Hermitian manifolds with ddc-harmonic Kähler form and positive (1, 1)-part of the Ricci form of the Bismut connection. This implies the vanishing of the Dolbeault cohomology groups on complex surfaces which admit a conformal class of Hermitian metrics, such that the Ricci tensor of the canonical Weyl structure is positive. As a coroll...
متن کامل3 Flat manifolds , harmonic spinors , and eta invariants
The aim of this paper is to calculate the eta invariants and the dimensions of the spaces of harmonic spinors for two infinite families of closed flat manifolds. The first one F CHD consists of some flat manifolds M with cyclic holonomy groups. The second one F HW is the family of generalized oriented Hantzsche-Wendt manifolds. If M ∈ F HW , and M admits a spin structure, then η(M) = 0 and h(M)...
