We construct several natural connections and Dirac type operators on a general metric contact manifold which are more sensitive to the geometric background. In the special case of CR manifolds these connections are also compatible with the…
The Rarita-Schwinger-Seiberg-Witten (RS-SW) equations are defined similarly to the classical Seiberg-Witten equations, where a geometric non-Dirac-type operator replaces the Dirac operator called the Rarita-Schwinger operator. In dimension…
In this article, we study a generalisation of the Seiberg-Witten equations, replacing the spinor representation with a hyperKahler manifold equipped with certain symmetries. Central to this is the construction of a (non-linear) Dirac…
Starting with an $n$-dimensional oriented Riemannian manifold with a Spin-c structure, we describe an elliptic system of equations which recover the Seiberg-Witten equations when $n=3,4$. The equations are for a U(1)-connection $A$ and…
This paper studies the behavior of sequences of solutions to Seiberg-Witten like equations for a pair consisting of a Hermitian connection on a line bundle over a 4-dimensional manifold and a section of the self-dual spinor bundle of a…
We use the $\eta$ invariants of spin$^c$ Dirac operators to distinguish connected components of moduli spaces of Riemannian metrics with positive Ricci curvature. We then find infinitely many non-diffeomorphic five dimensional manifolds for…
We construct exact solutions of the Einstein-Dirac equation, which couples the gravitational field with an eigenspinor of the Dirac operator via the energy-momentum tensor. For this purpose we introduce a new field equation generalizing the…
In this note we generalize the methods of [1][2][3] to 5-dimensional Riemannian manifolds M. We study the relations between the geometry of M and the number of solutions to a generalized Killing spinor equation obtained from a 5-dimensional…
We construct examples of four dimensional manifolds with Spin$^c$-structures, whose moduli spaces of solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equations, represent a non-trivial bordism class of positive dimension, i.e. the Spin$^c$-structures are…
By analysing the work of Campolattaro we argue that the second Seiberg-Witten equation over the Spin^c_4 manifold, i.e., F^+_{ij}=< M,S_ij M >, is the generalization of the Campolattaro's description of the electromagnetic field tensor…
We construct a Wick-type deformation quantization of contact metric manifolds. The construction is fully canonical and involves no arbitrary choice. Unlike the case of symplectic or Poisson manifolds, not every classical observable on a…
Two explicit formulas for metric connections in the bundle of Dirac spinors are studied. Their equivalence is proved. The explicit formula relating the spinor curvature tensor with the Riemann curvature tensor is rederived.
Let $M$ a compact connected orientable 4-manifold. We study the space $\Xi$ of $Spin^c$-structures of fixed fundamental class, as an infinite dimensional principal bundle on the manifold of riemannian metrics on $M$. In order to study…
This article explores solutions to a generalised form of the Seiberg--Witten equations in higher dimensions, first introduced by Fine and the author. Starting with an oriented $n$ dimensional Riemannian manifold with a…
By a theorem of Mclean, the deformation space of an associative submanifold Y of an integrable G_2 manifold (M,\phi) can be identified with the kernel of a Dirac operator D:\Omega^{0}(\nu) -->\Omega^{0}(\nu) on the normal bundle \nu of Y.…
We consider on a spin manifold with boundary a Dirac operator $D_A$ with chiral boundary conditions, twisted by a unitary connection $A$. When $m$ is not in the chiral spectrum of $D_A$, we define an analogue of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map…
We define Seiberg-Witten equations on closed manifolds endowed with a Riemannian foliation of codimension 4. When the foliation is taut, we show compactness of the moduli space under some hypothesis satisfied for instance by closed…
Using Weitzenb\"ock techniques on any compact Riemannian spin manifold we derive inequalities that involve a real parameter and join the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator with curvature terms. The discussion of these inequalities yields…
This paper develops a weighted $L^2$-method for the (half) Dirac equation. For Dirac bundles over closed Riemann surfaces, we give a sufficient condition for the solvability of the (half) Dirac equation in terms of a curvature integral.…
The Dirac equation may be thought as originating from a theory of five-dimensional (5D) space-time. We define a special 5D Clifford algebra and introduce a spin-1/2 constraint equation to describe null propagation in a 5D space-time…
