Lorentzian manifolds with special holonomy and parallel spinors

@inProceedings{Leistner2002,
abstract = {The author studies the holonomy group of a simply connected indecomposable and reducible Lorentzian spin manifold under the condition that they admit parallel spinors. He shows that there are only two possible situations: either the manifold is a so-called Brinkmann wave or it has Abelian holonomy and is a pp-manifold – a generalization of a plane-wave. The author gives also sufficient conditions for a Brinkmann wave to have as holonomy the semidirect product of holonomy group of a Riemannian manifold and $\mathbb \{R\}^n$, and gives examples starting with Kähler and hyper-Kähler manifolds.},
