Parallel and Killing Spinors on Spinc Manifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Skew Killing spinors
In this paper, we study the existence of a skew Killing spinor (see the definition below) on 2 and 3-dimensional Riemannian spin manifolds. We establish the integrability conditions and prove that these spinor fields correspond to twistor spinors in the two dimensional case while, up to a conformal change of the metric, they correspond to parallel spinors in the three dimensional case.
متن کاملA Local Existence Theorem for the Einstein-Dirac Equation
We study the Einstein-Dirac equation as well as the weak Killing equation on Riemannian spin manifolds with codimension one foliation. We prove that, for any manifold M admitting real Killing spinors (resp. parallel spinors), there exist warped product metrics η on M × R such that (M × R, η) admit Einstein spinors (resp. weak Killing spinors). To prove the result we split the Einstein-Dirac equ...
متن کاملA Universal Property of the Groups Spin and Mp
It is well known that spinors on oriented Riemannian manifolds cannot be defined as sections of a vector bundle associated with the frame bundle (see [1]). For this reason spin and spinc structures are often introduced. In this paper we prove that spinc structures have a universal property among all other structures that enable the construction of spinor bundles. We proceed to prove a similar r...
متن کاملTwistor and Killing Spinors in Lorentzian Geometry
— This paper is a survey of recent results concerning twistor and Killing spinors on Lorentzian manifolds based on lectures given at CIRM, Luminy, in June 1999, and at ESI, Wien, in October 1999. After some basic facts about twistor spinors we explain a relation between Lorentzian twistor spinors with lightlike Dirac current and the Fefferman spaces of strictly pseudoconvex spin manifolds which...
متن کاملOn the infinitesimal isometries of manifolds with Killing spinors
We study the Lie algebra of infinitesimal isometries of 7–dimensional simply connected manifolds with Killing spinors. We obtain some splitting theorems for the action of this algebra on the space of Killing spinors, and as a corollary we prove that there are no infinitesimal isometry of constant length on a 7–dimensional 3– Sasakian manifold (not isometric to a space form) except the linear co...
