Supersymmetry and discrete transformations of the Dirac operators in Taub - NUT geometry
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that the N = 4 superalgebra of the Dirac theory in Taub-NUT space has different unitary representations related among themselves through unitary U(2) transformations. In particular the SU(2) transformations are generated by the spin-like operators constructed with the help of the same covariantly constant Killing-Yano tensors which generate Dirac-type operators. A parity operator is defined and some explicit transformations which connect the Diractype operators among themselves are given. These transformations form a discrete group which is a realization of the quaternion discrete group. The fifth Dirac operator constructed using the non-covariant Killing-Yano tensor of the Taub-NUT space is quite special. This nonstandard Dirac operator is connected with the hidden symmetry and is not equivalent to the Dirac-type operators of the standard N = 4 supersymmetry.

Symmetries of the Dirac operators associated with covariantly constant Killing - Yano tensors
The continuous and discrete symmetries of the Dirac-type operators produced by particular Killing-Yano tensors are studied in manifolds of arbitrary dimensions. The Killing-Yano tensors considered are covariantly constant and realize certain square roots of the metric tensor. Such a Killing-Yano tensor produces simultaneously a Dirac-type operator and the generator of a one-parameter Lie group ...

Using chiral supersymmetry, we show that the massless Dirac equation in the Taub-NUT gravita-tional instanton field is exactly soluble and explain the arisal and the use of the dynamical (super) symmetry. 1. Introduction The Dirac equation D ψ = 0 in the Kaluza-Klein (KK) monopole field — obtained by imbedding the Taub-NUT solution into five-dimensional gravity with trivial time dependence [1] ...
