We define Dirac operators on $\mathbb{S}^3$ (and $\mathbb{R}^3$) with magnetic fields supported on smooth, oriented links and prove self-adjointness of certain (natural) extensions. We then analyze their spectral properties and show, among…

The k-Dirac operator is a differential operator which is natural to geometric structure of a parabolic type. We will give a set of initial conditions for this operator. In the proof of the claim we will need to adapt some parts from the…

We introduce a new class of natural, explicitly defined, transversally elliptic differential operators over manifolds with compact group actions. Under certain assumptions, the symbols of these operators generate all the possible values of…

Employing the covariant language of two-spinors, we find what conditions a curved Lorentzian spacetime must satisfy for existence of a second order symmetry operator for the massive Dirac equation. The conditions are formulated as existence…

This article is concerned with the analysis of Dirac operators $D$ twisted by ramified Euclidean line bundles $(Z,\mathfrak{l})$-motivated by their relation with harmonic $\mathbf{Z}/2\mathbf{Z}$ spinors, which have appeared in various…

Spinor representations of surfaces immersed into 4-dimensional pseudo-riemannian manifolds are defined in terms of minimal left ideals and tensor decompositions of Clifford algebras. The classification of spinor fields and Dirac operators…

We consider Dirac-type operators on manifolds with boundary, and set out to determine all local smooth boundary conditions that give rise to (strongly) regular self-adjoint operators. By combining the general theory of boundary value…

We revisit the problem of determining the zero modes of the Dirac operator on the Eguchi-Hanson space. It is well known that there are no normalisable zero modes, but such zero modes do appear when the Dirac operator is twisted by a $U(1)$…

We describe a general technique to study Dirac operators on noncommutative spaces under some additional assumptions. The main idea is to capture the compact resolvent condition in a combinatorial set up. Using this, we then prove that for a…

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…

We examine the structure of the Clifford algebra associated with a Hermitian bilinear form and apply the result to a dynamical model of the relativistic point particle. The dynamics of the particle is described by a Dirac spinor with…

The Dirac-Dolbeault operator for a compact K\"ahler manifold is a special case of a Dirac operator. The Green function for the Dirac Laplacian over a Riemannian manifold with boundary allows to express the values of the sections of the…

In this paper we develop the Hermitian refinement of symplectic Clifford analysis, by introducing a complex structure $\mathbb{J}$ on the canonical symplectic manifold $(\mathbb {R}^{2n},\omega_0)$. This gives rise to two symplectic Dirac…

The recent literature shows a renewed interest, with various independent approaches, in the classical models for spin. Considering the possible interest of those results, at least for the electron case, we purpose in this paper to explore…

In previous work by two of the present authors, twistors were re-interpreted as 4-d spinors with a position dependence within the formalism of geometric (Clifford) algebra. Here we extend that approach and justify the nature of the position…
