The Einstein-dirac Equation on Riemannian Spin

چکیده
We construct exact solutions of the Einstein-Dirac equation, which couples the gravitational field with an eigenspinor of the Dirac operator via the energymomentum tensor. For this purpose we introduce a new field equation generalizing the notion of Killing spinors. The solutions of this spinor field equation are called weak Killing spinors (WK-spinors). They are special solutions of the EinsteinDirac equation and in dimension n = 3 the two equations essentially coincide. It turns out that any Sasakian manifold with Ricci tensor related in some special way to the metric tensor as well as to the contact structure admits a WK-spinor. This result is a consequence of the investigation of special spinor field equations on Sasakian manifolds (Sasakian quasi-Killing spinors). Altogether, in odd dimensions a contact geometry generates a solution of the Einstein-Dirac equation. Moreover, we prove the existence of solutions of the Einstein-Dirac equations that are not WK-spinors in all dimensions n ≥ 8. Subj. Class.: Differential Geometry. 1991 MSC: 53C25, 58G30.

A 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 کاملNew Solutions of the Einstein-dirac Equation in Dimension
Consider a Riemannian spin manifold of dimension n ≥ 3 and denote by D the Dirac operator acting on spinor fields. A solution of the Einstein-Dirac equation is a spinor field ψ solving the equations Ric − 1 2 S · g = ± 1 4 T ψ , D(ψ) = λψ. Here S denotes the scalar curvature of the space, λ is a real constant and T ψ is the energy-momentum tensor of the spinor field ψ defined by the formula

We generalize the well-known lower estimates for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on a compact Riemannian spin manifold proved by Th. Friedrich (1980) and O. Hijazi (1986, 1992). The special solutions of the Einstein-Dirac equation constructed recently by Friedrich/Kim are examples for the limiting case of these inequalities. The discussion of the limiting case of these estimates yiel...

We find a unique torsion free Riemannian spin connection for the natural Killing metric on the quantum group Cq[SL2], using a recent frame bundle formulation. We find that its covariant Ricci curvature is essentially proportional to the metric (i.e. an Einstein space). We compute the Dirac operator D/ and find for q an odd r’th root of unity that its eigenvalues are given by q-integers [m]q for...
