Abstract

In this paper, we adapt the characterisation of the spin representation via exterior forms to the generalised spinr^r context. We find new invariant spinr^r spinors on the projective spaces CPn\mathbb{CP}^n, HPn\mathbb{HP}^n, and the Cayley plane OP2\mathbb{OP}^2 for all their homogeneous realisations. Specifically, for each of these realisations, we provide a complete description of the space of invariant spinr^r spinors for the minimum value of rr for which this space is non-zero. Additionally, we demonstrate some geometric implications of the existence of special spinr^r spinors on these spaces.
