In the present work the Calderbank-Pedersen description of four dimensional manifolds with self-dual Weyl tensor is used to obtain examples of quaternionic-kahler metrics with two commuting isometries. The eigenfunctions of the hyperbolic…

Quaternionic and octonionic spinors are introduced and their fundamental properties (such as the space-times supporting them) are reviewed. The conditions for the existence of their associated Dirac equations are analyzed. Quaternionic and…

In this paper, we give the sharp estimates for the degree of symmetry and the semi-simple degree of symmetry of certain four dimensional fiber bundles by virtue of the rigidity theorem of harmonic maps due to Schoen and Yau. As a corollary…

We propose a simple model of two-dimensional N=2 superconformal mechanics with a spin-orbit interaction term and demonstrate that it inherits the Galilean symmetry of the initial free-particle system. We then propose a quaternionic…

We use classical (Penrose) two-component spinors to set up the differential geometry of two parabolic contact structures in five dimensions, namely $G_2$ contact geometry and Legendrean contact geometry. The key players in these two…

This is the first of a series of papers devoted to the group-theoretical analysis of the conditions which must be satisfied for a configuration of intersecting M5-branes to be supersymmetric. In this paper we treat the case of static…

We show that a partially hyperbolic system can have at most a finite number of compact center-stable submanifolds. We also give sufficient conditions for these submanifolds to exist and consider the question of whether they can intersect…

The 2(2s+1)-component relativistic basis spinors for the arbitrary spin particles are established in position, momentum and four-dimensional spaces, where s=0,1 / 2,1, 3 / 2, 2, ... . These spinors for integral- and half-integral spins are…

We assign some kind of invariant manifolds to a given integrable PDE (its discrete or semi-discrete variant). First, we linearize the equation around its arbitrary solution $u$. Then we construct a differential (respectively, difference)…

We find a remarkable family of $\mathrm{G}_2$ structures defined on certain principal $\mathrm{SO}(3)$-bundles $P_\pm\longrightarrow M$ associated with any given oriented Riemannian 4-manifold $M$. Such structures are always cocalibrated.…

We develop the differential theory of complex spinorial forms associated with irreducible complex spinors across all dimensions and signatures. This framework enables the study of constrained parallelicity conditions for irreducible complex…

The so-called Dirac oscillator was proposed as a modification of the free Dirac equation which reproduces many of the properties of the simple harmonic oscillator but accompanied by a strong spin-orbit coupling term. It has yet to be…

We describe the possible holonomy groups of simply connected irreducible non-locally symmetric pseudo-Riemannian spin manifolds which admit parallel spinors.

We consider the kinematics of the locally BPS super-Wilson loop in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills with scalar coupling from a twistorial point of view. We find that the kinematics can be described either as supersymmetrized pure spinors…

For a semisimple real Lie group $G$, we study topological properties of moduli spaces of polystable parabolic $G$-Higgs bundles over a Riemann surface with a divisor of finitely many distinct points. For a split real form of a complex…

We introduce a general class of toric gravitational instantons in $D=4$, $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauged supergravity, namely Euclidean supersymmetric solutions with $U(1)^2$ isometry. Such solutions are specified by a "supergravity labelled…

We prove dynamical coherence for partial hyperbolic symplectomorphism in dimension 4 whose stable and unstable bundles are C^1.

We introduce the coupled instanton equations for a metric, a spinor, a three-form, and a connection on a bundle, over a spin manifold. Special solutions in dimensions $6$ and $7$ arise, respectively, from the Hull--Strominger and the…

We describe the flat surfaces with flat normal bundle and regular Gauss map immersed in R^4 using spinors and Lorentz numbers. We obtain a new proof of the local structure of these surfaces. We also study the flat tori in the sphere S^3 and…

It is one of the most important facts in 4-dimensional topology that not every spherical homology class of a 4-manifold can be represented by an embedded sphere. In 1978, M. Freedman and R. Kirby showed that in the simply connected case,…
