Abstract
AbstractWe develop a new framework for the study of generalized Killing spinors, where every generalized Killing spinor equation, possibly with constraints, can be formulated equivalently as a system of partial differential equations for a polyform satisfying algebraic relations in the Kähler–Atiyah bundle constructed by quantizing the exterior algebra bundle of the underlying manifold. At the core of this framework lies the characterization, which we develop in detail, of the image of the spinor squaring map of an irreducible Clifford module $$\Sigma $$
Σ
of real type as a real algebraic variety in the Kähler–Atiyah algebra, which gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a polyform to be the square of a real spinor. We apply these results to Lorentzian four-manifolds, obtaining a new description of a real spinor on such a manifold through a certain distribution of parabolic 2-planes in its cotangent bundle. We use this result to give global characterizations of real Killing spinors on Lorentzian four-manifolds and of four-dimensional supersymmetric configurations of heterotic supergravity. In particular, we find new families of Einstein and non-Einstein four-dimensional Lorentzian metrics admitting real Killing spinors, some of which are deformations of the metric of $$\text {AdS}_4$$
