Killing spinor initial data sets

چکیده
A 3+1 decomposition of the twistor and valence-2 Killing spinor equation is made using the space spinor formalism. Conditions on initial data sets for the Einstein vacuum equations are given so that their developments contain solutions to the twistor and/or Killing equations. These lead to the notions of twistor and Killing spinor initial data. These notions are used to obtain a characterisation of initial data sets whose development are of Petrov type N or D.

We solve the Killing spinor equations of supersymmetric IIB backgrounds which admit one supersymmetry and the Killing spinor has stability subgroup G2 in Spin(9, 1)×U(1). We find that such backgrounds admit a time-like Killing vector field and the geometric structure of the spacetime reduces from Spin(9, 1)× U(1) to G2. We determine the type of G2 structure that the spacetime admits by computin...
متن کاملPseudo-Supersymetry and the Domain-Wall/Cosmology Correspondence
The correspondence between domain-wall and cosmological solutions of gravity coupled to scalar fields is explained. Any domain wall solution that admits a Killing spinor is shown to correspond to a cosmology that admits a pseudo-Killing spinor: whereas the Killing spinor obeys a Dirac-type equation with hermitian ‘mass’-matrix, the corresponding pseudo-Killing spinor obeys a Dirac-type equation...
متن کاملSystematics of IIB spinorial 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 کاملKilling Spinor-valued Forms and the Cone Construction
On a pseudo-Riemannian manifoldM we introduce a system of partial differential Killing type equations for spinor-valued differential forms, and study their basic properties. We discuss the relationship between solutions of Killing equations onM and parallel fields on the metric cone overM for spinor-valued forms.
متن کاملThe 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 ...
