A noncommutative-geometric generalization of the classical concept of spinor structure is presented. This is done in the framework of the formalism of quantum principal bundles. In particular, analogs of the Dirac operator and the Laplacian…

A general theory of quantum spinor structures on quantum spaces is presented, within the conceptual framework of the formalism of quantum principal bundles. Quantum analogs of all basic objects of the classical theory are constructed and…

This article gives a geometric interpretation of the spin base formulation with local spin base invariance of spinors on a curved space-time and in particular of a central element, the global Dirac structure, in terms of principal and…

It is shown that every bundle $\varSigma\to M$ of complex spinor modules over the Clifford bundle $\Cl(g)$ of a Riemannian space $(M,g)$ with local model $(V,h)$ is associated with an lpin ("Lipschitz") structure on $M$, this being a…

We define spin frames, with the aim of extending spin structures from the category of (pseudo-)Riemannian manifolds to the category of spin manifolds with a fixed signature on them, though with no selected metric structure. Because of this…

The relationship between spinors and Clifford (or geometric) algebra has long been studied, but little consistency may be found between the various approaches. However, when spinors are defined to be elements of the even subalgebra of some…

It is well known that spinors on oriented Riemannian manifolds cannot be defined as sections of a vector bundle associated with the frame bundle. For this reason spin and spin^c structures are often introduced. In this paper we prove that…

Not only the Dirac operator, but also the spinor bundle of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold depends on the underlying metric. This leads to technical difficulties in the study of problems where many metrics are involved, for instance in…

Spinors are mathematical objects susceptible to the spacetime characteristics upon which they are defined. Not all spacetimes admit spinor structure; when it does, it may have more than one spinor structure, depending on topological…

Spinors are used in physics quite extensively. The goal of this study is also the spinor structure lying in the basis of the quaternion algebra. In this paper, first, we have introduced spinors mathematically. Then, we have defined…

These notes on Riemannian geometry use the bases bundle and frame bundle, as in Geometry of Manifolds, to express the geometric structures. It has more problems and omits the background material. It starts with the definition of Riemannian…

We describe the different classes of $\mathrm{Spin(7)}$ structures in terms of spinorial equations. We relate them to the spinorial description of $\mathrm{G}_2$ structures in some geometrical situations. Our approach enables us to analyze…

In this largely expository paper we give a self-contained treatment of the Dirac operator. Emphasizing the algebraic point of view we first sketch the necessary prerequisites from Clifford algebras and their representations and then define…

We consider some classical fibre bundles furnished with almost complex structures of twistor type, deduce their integrability in some cases and study \textit{self-holomorphic} sections of a \textit{symplectic} twistor space. With these we…

In this paper, we describe the group SpinT (n) and give some properties of this group. We construct SpinT spinor bundle S by means of the spinor representation of the group SpinT (n) and define covariant derivative operator and Dirac…

In this paper we complete the classification of spin manifolds admitting parallel spinors, in terms of the Riemannian holonomy groups. More precisely, we show that on a given n-dimensional Riemannian manifold, spin structures with parallel…

We develop a geometric framework for generalized Milnor classifying spaces in the setting of diffeological spaces and infinite-dimensional geometry. Starting from Milnor's construction, we introduce spherical and projective models endowed…

In this paper we advance into a generalized spinor classification, based on the so-called Lounesto's classification. The program developed here is based on an existing freedom on the spinorial dual structures definition, which, in a certain…

We consider principal fibre bundles with a given connection and construct almost complex structures on the total space if the adjoint bundle is isomorphic to the tangent bundle of the base. We derive the integrability condition. If the…
