Symplectic Killing spinors

Abstract

Let $(M,\omega )$ be a symplectic manifold admitting a metaplectic structure (a symplectic analogue of the Riemannian spin structure) and a torsion-free symplectic connection $\nabla .$ Symplectic Killing spinor fields for this structure are sections of the symplectic spinor bundle satisfying a certain first order partial differential equation and they are the main topic of this paper. We derive a necessary condition satisfied by a symplectic Killing spinor field. The advantage of this condition consists in the fact that it is expressed by a zeroth order operator. This condition helps us substantionally to compute the symplectic Killing spinor fields for the standard symplectic vector spaces and the round sphere $S^2$ equipped with the volume form of the round metric.
