We give a spinorial representation of a submanifold of any dimension and co-dimension in a symmetric space $G/H,$ where $G$ is a complex semi-simple Lie group and $H$ is a compact real form of $G.$ This in particular includes…

We prove a Bonnet theorem for isometric immersions of submanifolds into the products of an arbitrary number of simply connected real space forms. Then, we prove the existence of associated families of minimal surfaces in such products.…

We introduce a notion of twisted pure spinor in order to characterize, in a unified way, all the special Riemannian holonomy groups just as a classical pure spinor characterizes the special K\"ahler holonomy. Motivated by certain curvature…

A fundamental problem in differential geometry is to characterize intrinsic metrics on a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold ${\mathcal M}^2$ which can be realized as isometric immersions into $\R^3$. This problem can be formulated as…

Real Clifford algebras for arbitrary number of space and time dimensions as well as their representations in terms of spinors are reviewed and discussed. The Clifford algebras are classified in terms of isomorphic matrix algebras of real,…

We develop the theory of spinorial polyforms associated with bundles of irreducible Clifford modules of non-simple real type, obtaining a precise characterization of the square of an irreducible real spinor in signature $(p-q) =…

Spinor formalism is the formalism induced by solutions of the Clifford equation (the connecting operators). For the space-time manifold (n = 4), these operators, connecting the tangent and spinor bundle, are operators that are represented…

For any manifold M, the direct sum TM \oplus T*M carries a natural inner product given by the pairing of vectors and covectors. Differential forms on M may be viewed as spinors for the corresponding Clifford bundle, and in particular there…

This paper describes an approach for fitting an immersed submanifold of a finite-dimensional Euclidean space to random samples. The reconstruction mapping from the ambient space to the desired submanifold is implemented as a composition of…

We give a streamlined account of $2$-spinors, up to and including the Dirac equation, using little more than the resources of linear algebra. We prove that the Dirac bundle is isomorphic to the associated bundles $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})…

We introduce a spin field approach, that is compatible with the Cartan moving frame method, to describe the submanifold in a flat space. In fact, we consider a kind of spin field $\psi$, that satisfies a Killing spin field equation…

We prove a stability result of isometric immersions of hypersurfaces in Riemannian manifolds, with respect to $L^p$-perturbations of their fundamental forms: For a manifold $M^d$ endowed with a reference metric and a reference shape…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions on a smooth local map of a Riemannian manifold $M^m$ into the sphere $S^m$ to be the Gauss map of an isometric immersion $u:M^m \to R^n$, $n=m+1$. We briefly discuss the case of general $n$ as…

For a manifold $M$ and an integer $r>1$, the space of $r$-immersions of $M$ in $\mathbb R^n$ is defined to be the space of immersions of $M$ in $\mathbb R^n$ such that the preimage of every point in $\mathbb R^n$ contains fewer than $r$…

We present a compensated compactness theorem in Banach spaces established recently, whose formulation is originally motivated by the weak rigidity problem for isometric immersions of manifolds with lower regularity. As a corollary, a…

The fact that every compact oriented 4-manifold admits spin$^c$ structures was proved long ago by Hirzebruch and Hopf. However, the usual proof is neither direct nor transparent. This article gives a new proof using twistor spaces that is…

In this article we introduce conformal Riemannian morphisms. The idea of conformal Riemannian morphism generalizes the notions of an isometric immersion, a Riemannian submersion, an isometry, a Riemannian map and a conformal Riemannian map.…

In this paper, we show the rigidity of isometric immersions for a Riemannian manifold of dimension $n-1$ into the light cone of $n+1$ dimensional Minkowski, de Sitter and anti-de Sitter spacetimes for $n\geq 3$.

This is a doctoral thesis on the application of techniques originally developed in the programme of characterisation of supersymmetric solutions to Supergravity theories, to finding alternative backgrounds. We start by discussing the…

An invariant of orientable 3-manifolds is defined by taking the minimum $n$ such that a given 3-manifold embeds in the connected sum of $n$ copies of $S^2 \times S^2$, and we call this $n$ the embedding number of the 3-manifold. We give…
