BGG-operators form sequences of invariant differential operators and the first of these is overdetermined. Interesting equations in conformal geometry described by these operators are those for Einstein scales, conformal Killing forms and…
We show how the rigid conformal supersymmetries associated with a certain class of pseudo-Riemannian spin manifolds define a Lie superalgebra. The even part of this superalgebra contains conformal isometries and constant R-symmetries. The…
The generalized Killing equations for the configuration space of spinning particles (spinning space) are analysed. Solutions of these equations are expressed in terms of Killing-Yano tensors. In general the constants of motion can be seen…
It is shown that the second order symmetry operators for the Dirac equation on a general two-dimensional spin manifold may be expressed in terms of Killing vectors and valence two Killing tensors. The role of these operators in the theory…
It is well-known that the Clifford algebra Cl(2n) can be given a description in terms of creation/annihilation operators acting in the space of inhomogeneous differential forms on C^n. We refer to such inhomogeneous differential forms as…
In these lectures the relations between symmetries, Lie algebras, Killing vectors and Noether's theorem are reviewed. A generalisation of the basic ideas to include velocity-dependend co-ordinate transformations naturally leads to the…
The usual extensions of supersymmetry require the existence of a complex structure and the formulation of the theory on K\"{a}hler manifolds. It is shown, that by relaxing the constraints on the algebra of supercharges we can get new…
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…

Quaternionic and octonionic realizations of Clifford algebras and spinors are classified and explicitly constructed in terms of recursive formulas. The most general free dynamics in arbitrary signature space-times for both quaternionic and…
We construct two families of globally supersymmetric counterparts of standard Poincar\'e supersymmetric SYM theories on curved space-times admitting Killing spinors, in all dimensions less than six and eight respectively. The former differs…
Generic distributions on 5- and 6-manifolds give rise to conformal structures that were discovered by P. Nurowski resp. R. Bryant. We describe both as Fefferman-type constructions and show that for orientable distributions one obtains…
We extend equal rank embedding of reductive Lie algebras to that of basic Lie superalgebras. The Kac character formulas for equal rank embedding are derived in terms of subalgebras and Kostant's cubic Dirac operator for equal rank embedding…
We considered an extension of the standard functional for the Einstein-Dirac equation where the Dirac operator is replaced by the square of the Dirac operator and a real parameter controlling the length of spinors is introduced. For one…
On manifolds with non-trivial Killing tensors admitting a square root of the Killing-Yano type one can construct non-standard Dirac operators which differ from, but commute with, the standard Dirac operator. We relate the index problem for…
New kinds of supersymmetry arise in supersymmetric $\sg$-models describing the motion of spinning point-particles in classical backgrounds, for example black-holes, or the dynamics of monopoles. Their geometric origin is the existence of…
Tensor hierarchy algebras constitute a class of non-contragredient Lie superalgebras, whose finite-dimensional members are the "Cartan-type" Lie superalgebras in Kac's classification. They have applications in mathematical physics,…
Generalization of twistor spinors to K\"ahler manifolds which are called K\"ahlerian twistor spinors are considered. We find the differential equation satisfied by the bilinear forms of K\"ahlerian twistor spinors. We show that the bilinear…
We extend the link between Einstein Sasakian manifolds and Killing spinors to a class of $\eta$-Einstein Sasakian manifolds, both in Riemannian and Lorentzian settings, characterising them in terms of generalised Killing spinors. We propose…
