Abstract

We construct a universal spinc_c Dirac operator on CPn\mathbb{C}P^n built by projecting su(n+1)su(n+1) left actions and prove its equivalence to the standard right action Dirac operator on CPn\mathbb{C}P^n. The eigenvalue problem is solved and the spinor space constructed thereof, showing that the proposed Dirac operator is universal, changing only its domain for different spinc_c structures. Explicit expressions for the chirality and the eigenspinors are also found and consistency with the index theorem is established. Also, the extended N=2\mathcal{N} =2 supersymmetry algebra is realised through the Dirac operator and its companion supercharge, and an expression for the superpotential of any spinc_c connection on CPn\mathbb{C}P^n is found and generalised to any spin coset manifold G/HG/H with G,HG,H compact, connected, and GG semisimple. The RR-symmetry of this superalgebra is found to be equivalent to the U(1)U(1) holonomy of the spinc_c connection.
