چکیده
We study a Killing spinor type equation on spin Riemannian flows. We prove integrability conditions and partially classify those Riemannian flows M carrying non-trivial solutions to that equation in case M is a local Riemannian product, a Sasakian manifold or 3-dimensional.

A spectral estimate for the Dirac operator on Riemannian flows
We give a new upper bound for the smallest eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on a Riemannian flow carrying transversal Killing spinors. We derive an estimate on Sasakian and on 3-dimensional manifolds and partially classify those satisfying the limiting case. Finally, we compare our estimate with a lower bound in terms of a natural tensor depending on the eigenspinor. Mathematics Subject Classi...
متن کاملA Local Existence Theorem for the Einstein-Dirac Equation
We study the Einstein-Dirac equation as well as the weak Killing equation on Riemannian spin manifolds with codimension one foliation. We prove that, for any manifold M admitting real Killing spinors (resp. parallel spinors), there exist warped product metrics η on M × R such that (M × R, η) admit Einstein spinors (resp. weak Killing spinors). To prove the result we split the Einstein-Dirac equ...
متن کاملSkew Killing spinors
In this paper, we study the existence of a skew Killing spinor (see the definition below) on 2 and 3-dimensional Riemannian spin manifolds. We establish the integrability conditions and prove that these spinor fields correspond to twistor spinors in the two dimensional case while, up to a conformal change of the metric, they correspond to parallel spinors in the three dimensional case.
متن کاملMathematische Zeitschrift Extrinsic Killing spinors
Under intrinsic and extrinsic curvature assumptions on a Riemannian spin manifold and its boundary, we show that there is an isomorphism between the restriction to the boundary of parallel spinors and extrinsic Killing spinors of nonnegative Killing constant. As a corollary, we prove that a complete Ricci-flat spin manifold with mean-convex boundary isometric to a round sphere, is necessarily a...
متن کاملConformal Killing Spinors and Special Geometric Structures in Lorentzian Geometry - a Survey
This paper is a survey on special geometric structures that admit conformal Killing spinors based on lectures, given at the “Workshop on Special Geometric Structures in String Theory”, Bonn, September 2001 and at ESI, Wien, November 2001. We discuss the case of Lorentzian signature and explain which geometries occur up to dimension 6.
