Consider a Riemannian spin manifold $(M^{n}, g)$ $(n\geq 3)$ endowed with a non-trivial 3-form $T\in\Lambda^{3}T^{*}M$, such that $\nabla^{c}T=0$, where $\nabla^{c}:=\nabla^{g}+\frac{1}{2}T$ is the metric connection with skew-torsion $T$.…

In this paper, we consider a general twisted-curved space-time hosting Dirac spinors and we take into account the Lorentz covariant polar decomposition of the Dirac spinor field: the corresponding decomposition of the Dirac spinor field…

It is well-known that the spectrum of a $\text{spin}^{\mathbb{C}}$ Dirac operator on a closed Riemannian $\text{spin}^{\mathbb{C}}$ manifold $M^{2k}$ of dimension $2k$ for $k \in \mathbb{N}$ is symmetric. In this article, we prove that over…
