Twistor spinors on Lorentzian symmetric spaces
Authors:Helga Baum
Abstract:An indecomposable Riemannian symmetric space which admits non-trivial twistor spinors has constant sectional curvature. Furthermore, each homogeneous Riemannian manifold with parallel spinors is flat. In the present paper we solve the twistor equation on all indecomposable Lorentzian symmetric spaces explicitly. In particular, we show that there are — in contrast to the Riemannian case — indecomposable Lorentzian symmetric spaces with twistor spinors, which have non-constant sectional curvature and non-flat and non-Ricci flat homogeneous Lorentzian manifolds with parallel spinors.
Keywords:Twistor equation  Parallel spinors  Lorentzian geometry  Lorentzian symmetric spaces  Spinors and twistors
