Similarity:

Let $(M, ω)$ be a symplectic manifold admitting a metaplectic structure (a symplectic analogue of the Riemannian spin structure) and a torsion-free symplectic connection $\nabla$ . Symplectic Killing spinor fields for this structure are sections of the symplectic spinor bundle satisfying a certain first order partial differential equation and they are the main object of this paper. We derive a necessary condition which has to be satisfied by a symplectic Killing spinor field. Using this condition one...

Relation of the spectra of symplectic Rarita-Schwinger and Dirac operators on flat symplectic manifolds

Similarity:

Consider a flat symplectic manifold $(M^{2 l}, ω)$ , $l \geq 2$ , admitting a metaplectic structure. We prove that the symplectic twistor operator maps the eigenvectors of the symplectic Dirac operator, that are not symplectic Killing spinors, to the eigenvectors of the symplectic Rarita-Schwinger operator. If $λ$ is an eigenvalue of the symplectic Dirac operator such that $- ı l λ$ is not a symplectic Killing number, then $\frac{l - 1}{l} λ$ is an eigenvalue of the symplectic Rarita-Schwinger operator.

Calculus on symplectic manifolds

On a symplectic manifold, there is a natural elliptic complex replacing the de Rham complex. It can be coupled to a vector bundle with connection and, when the curvature of this connection is constrained to be a multiple of the symplectic form, we find a new complex. In particular, on complex projective space with its Fubini–Study form and connection, we can build a series of differential complexes akin to the Bernstein–Gelfand–Gelfand complexes from parabolic differential geometry. ...
