Computation of generalized Killing spinors on reductive homogeneous spaces

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We determine the holonomy of generalized Killing spinor covariant derivatives of the form D=∇+ΩD= \nabla + Ω on pseudo-Riemannian reductive homogeneous spaces in a purely algebraic and algorithmic way, where Ω:TM→Λ∗(TM)Ω: TM \rightarrow Λ^*(TM) is a left-invariant homomorphism. This is essentially an application of the theory of invariant principal bundle connections defined over homogeneous principal bundles. Moreover, the algorithm allows a computation of the associated Killing superalgebra in certain cases. The procedure is demonstrated by determining the supersymmetries of certain homogeneous M2 duals, which arise in M-theory.
