Hidden symmetry in the presence of fluxes

We derive the most general first-order symmetry operator for the Dirac equation coupled to arbitrary fluxes. Such an operator is given in terms of an inhomogeneous form ω   which is a solution to a coupled system of first-order partial differential equations which we call the generalized conformal Killing–Yano system. Except trivial fluxes, solutions of this system are subject to additional constraints. We discuss various special cases of physical interest. In particular, we demonstrate that in the case of a Dirac operator coupled to the skew symmetric torsion and U(1)$U(1)$ field, the system of generalized conformal Killing–Yano equations decouples into the homogeneous conformal Killing–Yano equations with torsion introduced in D. Kubiznak et al. (2009) 8] and the symmetry operator is essentially the one derived in T. Houri et al. (2010) 9]. We also discuss the Dirac field coupled to a scalar potential and in the presence of 5-form and 7-form fluxes.
