Symplectic analogues of the Dirac and the twistor operators and their solution spaces on \(\mathbb{R}^{2n}\) and \(2n\)-dimensional tori

Marie Dostálová, Mathematical Institute of Charles University, Czech Republic
The symplectic Dirac and the symplectic twistor operators are Spin-symplectic analogues of the Dirac and the twistor operators in the (pseudo-)Riemannian Spin geometry. In particular, for standard symplectic space \((\mathbb{R}^{2n},\omega)\) there is a difference between the solution spaces of the symplectic twistor operator in the case \(n = 1\) respectively \(n > 1\). The main technical tool used to determine these solution spaces, is based on the metaplectic Howe duality. On the examples of \(2n\)-dimensional tori we demonstrate the effect of dependence of the solution spaces of the symplectic Dirac and the symplectic twistor operators on the choice of the metaplectic structure.
