Symplectic Spinor Valued Forms and Invariant Operators Acting between Them

چکیده
While the spinor twisted de Rham sequence for orthogonal spin structures is well understood from the point of view of representation theory (see, e.g., Delanghe, Sommen, Souček [4]), its symplectic analogue seems to be untouched till present days. In Riemannian geometry, a decomposition of spinor twisted de Rham sequence (i.e., exterior differential forms with values in basic spinor bundles) into invariant parts is well known. Suppose a principal connection on the frame bundle of orthogonal repers (of the tangent bundle) is given. It induces in a canonical way a covariant derivative on differential forms with values in the basic spinor bundles. In this case, it is known, which parts of the covariant derivatives acting between the spinor bundle valued forms are zero if we restrict it to an invariant part of the sequence. Namely, the covariant derivative maps each invariant part only in at most three invariant parts sitting in the next gradation (some degeneracies on the ends of the sequence could be systematically described). In symplectic geometry, the first question which naturally arises is, what are the spinors for a symplectic Lie algebra. This question was successfully answered by Bertram Kostant in [14]. He offered a candidate for symplectic spinors. We will call these spinors basic symplectic spinors and denote their underlying vector spaces S+ and S−. They are analogous to the ordinary orthogonal spinors in at least two following ways.

Howe type duality for metaplectic group acting on symplectic spinor valued forms
Let λ : G̃ → G be the non-trivial double covering of the symplectic group G = Sp(V, ω) of the symplectic vector space (V, ω) by the metaplectic group G̃ = Mp(V, ω). In this case, λ is also a representation of G̃ on the vector space V and thus, it gives rise to the representation of G̃ on the space of exterior forms ∧• V by taking wedge products. Let S be the minimal globalization of the Harish-Chan...

We study symplectic manifolds (M, ω) equipped with a symplectic torsion-free affine (also called Fedosov) connection ∇ and admitting a metaplectic structure. Let S be the so called symplectic spinor bundle and let R be the curvature tensor field of the symplectic spinor covariant derivative ∇ associated to the Fedosov connection ∇. It is known that the space of symplectic spinor valued exterior...

We give a classification of 1 st order invariant differential operators acting between sections of certain bundles associated to Cartan geometries of the so called metaplectic contact projective type. These bundles are associated via representations , which are derived from the so called higher symplectic, harmonic or generalized Kostant spinor modules. Higher symplectic spinor modules are aris...
متن کاملDifferential Forms and Odd Symplectic Geometry
We remind the main facts about the odd Laplacian acting on half-densities on an odd symplectic manifold and discuss a homological interpretation for it suggested recently by P. Ševera. We study relations of odd symplectic geometry with classical objects. We show that the Berezinian of a canonical transformation for an odd symplectic form is a polynomial in matrix entries and a complete square. ...
متن کاملKilling Spinor-valued Forms and the Cone Construction
On a pseudo-Riemannian manifoldM we introduce a system of partial differential Killing type equations for spinor-valued differential forms, and study their basic properties. We discuss the relationship between solutions of Killing equations onM and parallel fields on the metric cone overM for spinor-valued forms.
