Reflections and spinors on manifolds

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-12-13 v1

Abstract

This paper reviews some recent work on (s)pin structures and the Dirac operator on hypersurfaces (in particular, on spheres), on real projective spaces and quadrics. Two approaches to spinor fields on manifolds are compared. The action of space and time reflections on spinors is discussed, also for two-component (chiral) spinors.
