Twistor Spinors with Zero on Lorentzian 5-space
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract. We present in this paper a C-metric on an open neighbourhood of the origin in R5. The metric is of Lorentzian signature (1, 4) and admits a solution to the twistor equation for spinors with a unique isolated zero at the origin. The metric is not conformally flat in any neighbourhood of the origin. The construction is based on the Eguchi-Hanson metric with parallel spinors on Riemannian 4-space.

Twistor spinors on Lorentzian symmetric spaces
An indecomposable Riemannian symmetric space which admits nontrivial twistor spinors has constant sectional curvature. Furthermore, each homogeneous Riemannian manifold with parallel spinors is at. In the present paper we solve the twistor equation on all indecomposable Lorentzian symmetric spaces explicitly. In particular, we show that there are-in contrast to the Riemannian case-indecom-posab...
متن کاملA Note on Twistor Spinors with Zeros in Lorentzian Geometry
We show in this note that if a twistor spinor has a zero on a Lorentzian spin manifold M of arbitrary dimension then the twistor is almost everywhere on M locally conformally equivalent to a parallel spinor.
متن کاملTwistor Spinors on Lorentzian Manifolds, Cr-geometry and Feeerman Spaces
The paper deals with twistor spinors on Lorentzian manifolds. In particular , we explain a relation between a certain class of Lorentzian twistor spinors and the Feeerman spaces of strictly pseudoconvex spin manifolds which appear in CR-geometry. Let (M n;k ; g) be a n-dimensional smooth semi-Riemannian spin manifold of index k with the spinor bundle S. There are two conformally covariant diffe...
متن کاملRigid supersymmetry, conformal coupling and twistor spinors
We investigate the relationship between conformal and spin structure on lorentzian manifolds and see how their compatibility influences the formulation of rigid supersymmetric field theories. In dimensions three, four, six and ten, we show that if the Dirac current associated with a generic spinor defines a null conformal Killing vector then the spinor must obey a twistor equation with respect ...
متن کاملAbout Twistor Spinors with Zero in Lorentzian Geometry
We describe the local conformal geometry of a Lorentzian spin manifold (M, g) admitting a twistor spinor φ with zero. Moreover, we describe the shape of the zero set of φ. If φ has isolated zeros then the metric g is locally conformally equivalent to a static monopole. In the other case the zero set consists of null geodesic(s) and g is locally conformally equivalent to a Brinkmann metric. Our ...
