Killing Spinors in Supergravity with 4-fluxes
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the spinorial Killing equation of supergravity involving a torsion 3-form T as well as a flux 4-form F. In dimension seven, we construct explicit families of compact solutions out of 3-Sasakian geometries, nearly parallel G2-geometries and on the homogeneous Aloff-Wallach space. The constraint F · Ψ = 0 defines a non empty subfamily of solutions. We investigate the constraint T ·Ψ = 0, too, and show that it singles out a very special choice of numerical parameters in the Killing equation, which can also be justified geometrically.

The spinorial geometry of supersymmetric IIB backgrounds
We investigate the Killing spinor equations of IIB supergravity for one Killing spinor. We show that there are three types of orbits of Spin(9, 1) in the space of Weyl spinors which give rise to Killing spinors with stability subgroups Spin(7)⋉ R , SU(4)⋉R and G2. We solve the Killing spinor equations for the Spin(7)⋉R 8 and SU(4) ⋉ R invariant spinors, give the fluxes in terms of the geometry ...

We reduce the classification of all supersymmetric backgrounds of IIB supergravity to the evaluation of the Killing spinor equations and their integrability conditions, which contain the field equations, on five types of spinors. This extends the work of [hep-th/0503046] to IIB supergravity. We give the expressions of the Killing spinor equations on all five types of spinors. In this way, the K...
متن کاملThe spinorial geometry of supersymmetric backgrounds
We propose a new method to solve the Killing spinor equations of eleven-dimensional supergravity based on a description of spinors in terms of forms and on the Spin(1, 10) gauge symmetry of the supercovariant derivative. We give the canonical form of Killing spinors for backgrounds preserving two supersymmetries, N = 2, provided that one of the spinors represents the orbit of Spin(1, 10) with s...

We reduce the classification of all supersymmetric backgrounds in eleven dimensions to the evaluation of the supercovariant derivative and of an integrability condition, which contains the field equations, on six types of spinors. We determine the expression of the supercovariant derivative on all six types of spinors and give in each case the field equations that do not arise as the integrabil...

We present all isotropy groups and associated Σ groups, up to discrete identifications of the component connected to the identity, of spinors of eleven-dimensional and type II supergravities. The Σ groups are products of a Spin group and an R-symmetry group of a suitable lower dimensional supergravity theory. Using the case of SU(4)-invariant spinors as a paradigm, we demonstrate that the Σ gro...
