Connections on Cahen-Wallach spaces (Q483077): Difference between revisions

The author examines spinor connections on solvable Lorentzian symmetric spaces and a closely related quadratic relation on the Clifford algebra of a Euclidean vector space. First, this quadratic relation is presented on a Clifford algebra. Solutions of the same relation are expanded in the quadratic Clifford pairs. The consideration of connections on the spinor bundle of Cahen-Wallach spaces leads to the origin of the quadratic relation. It is shown that the quadratic relation corresponds to the vanishing of the curvature of a particular class of connections. The author also gives a classification of flat homogeneous connections on irreducible spinor bundles over Cahen-Wallach spaces.
