This paper is the second one of a series of three and it is the continuation of math-ph/0412074. We review some properties of the algebraic spinors in Cl(3,0) and Cl(0,3) and how Weyl, Pauli and Dirac spinors are constructed in Cl(3,0) (and…

This is the second part of an article about q-deformed analogs of spinor calculus. The considerations refer to quantum spaces of physical interest, i.e. q-deformed Euclidean space in three or four dimensions as well as q-deformed Minkowski…
We study the behavior of the spectrum of the Dirac operator on collapsing S^1-bundles. Convergent eigenvalues will exist if and only if the spin structure is projectable.
This is the first paper in a series of two papers. In this paper we construct complexes of invariant differential operators which live on homogeneous spaces of $|2|$-graded parabolic geometries of some particular type. We call them…
The Dirac equation for a massive spin-1/2 field in a central potential V in three dimensions is studied without fixing a priori the functional form of V. The second-order equations for the radial parts of the spinor wave function are shown…

We study the clustering of the lowest non negative eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on a general Dirac bundle when the metric structure is varied. In the classical case we show that any closed spin manifold of dimension greater than or…
Consider the massless Dirac operator on a 3-torus equipped with Euclidean metric and standard spin structure. It is known that the eigenvalues can be calculated explicitly: the spectrum is symmetric about zero and zero itself is a double…
