Hodge theorem and harmonic spinors are studied in a physics-oriented approach in the present paper. New mathematical results on the harmonic spinors are as follows. Harmonic spinors defined by partial differential operators could be of two…
We prove the existence of singular harmonic ${\bf Z}_2$ spinors on $3$-manifolds with $b_1 > 1$. The proof relies on a wall-crossing formula for solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equation with two spinors. The existence of singular harmonic…
A $\mathbb Z_2$-harmonic spinor on a 3-manifold $Y$ is a solution of the Dirac equation on a bundle that is twisted around a submanifold $\mathcal Z$ of codimension 2 called the singular set. This article investigates the local structure of…
We describe novel local singularity models for $\mathbb Z/2$ harmonic 1-forms, self-dual 2-forms and spinors in dimension 4. These models are homogeneous versions on $\mathbb{R}^4$ whose singular sets are cones on the 1-skeletal of certain…
We introduce a functional that couples the nonlinear sigma model with a spinor field: $L=\int_M[|d\phi|^2+(\psi,\D\psi)]$. In two dimensions, it is conformally invariant. The critical points of this functional are called Dirac-harmonic…
We give an example of a sequence of positive harmonic functions on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq 2$, that converges pointwise to a non-harmonic function.
We present a new spectral scheme for analysing functions of half-integer spin-weight on the $2$-sphere and demonstrate the stability and convergence properties of our implementation. The dynamical evolution of the Dirac equation on a…
This paper studies spinor two-point functions for spin-1/2 and spin-3/2 fields in maximally symmetric spaces such as de Sitter spacetime, by using intrinsic geometric objects. The Feynman, positive- and negative-frequency Green functions…
In this article, we consider $L^{2}$ harmonic forms on a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold $X$ with a nonzero parallel form $\omega$. The main result is that if $(X,\omega)$ is a complete $G_{2}$- ( or $Spin(7)$-) manifold with a…
This is an expository article which describes one approach to the construction and classification of harmonic tori "of finite type", namely, via their ring of polynomial Killing fields. To keep the discussion focussed, the first section is…
We study a functional, whose critical points couple Dirac-harmonic maps from surfaces with a two form. The critical points can be interpreted as coupling the prescribed mean curvature equation to spinor fields. On the other hand, this…
In this article, we study the multiple zeta functions (MZF) and some of its variants at identical arguments. Using the harmonic product, these functions can be expressed as polynomials in the Riemann zeta function. Firstly, we note that an…
In this note, using the spinorial description of $SU(3)$ and $G_2$-structures obtained recently by other authors, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for harmonicity of above mentioned structures. We describe obtained results on…
Given a pair of $\mathbb{Z}_2$-harmonic spinors (resp. 1-forms) on closed Riemannian 3-manifolds $(Y_1, g_1)$ and $(Y_2,g_2)$, we construct $\mathbb{Z}_2$-harmonic spinors (resp. 1-forms) on the connected sum $Y_1 \# Y_2$ and the torus sum…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of pin+, pin- and spin structures on Riemannian manifolds with holonomy group $Z_2^k$. For any n>3 (resp. n>5) we give examples of pairs of compact manifolds (resp. compact…
We study operators on the Kalton-Peck Banach space $Z_2$ from various points of view: matrix representations, examples, spectral properties and operator ideals. For example, we prove that there are non-compact, strictly singular operators…
In this paper, we perform the polar analysis of the spinorial fields, starting from the regular cases and up to the singular cases: we will give for the first time the polar form of the spinorial field equations for the singular cases…
