The authors compute the Green function of the spinor Klein-Gordon equation on Riemannian and Lorentzian manifolds that are product manifolds of \(N\geq 1\) simply connected Riemannian, or Lorentzian, manifolds of constant sectional curvature. In contrast to the case \(N= 0\), which is conformally flat and includes the de Sitter and anti-de Sitter space-times; the \(N\geq 1\) cases are not conformally flat and include the Robinson-Bertotti solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations, which are of Bel-Petrov Type D. The \(N\geq 1\) case considered by the authors is considerably different from the \(N= 0\) case, and that of the Dirac equation on de Sitter and anti-de Sitter space-times, which were previously known. They employ an extension of the classical method of spherical means for spinor fields. For both the Riemannian and Lorentzian manifolds, they obtain an elegant exact integral representation. Contents includes: Introduction (containing an overview of the literature, and a sketch of their approach); Spherical means for spinors; The radial operator; The Riemannian case; The Lorentzian case; and References (twenty-four items).
