Imaginary Killing spinors on \((2, n - 2)\)-manifolds (Q1014078)

Let \(({\mathcal M}^{n,k}, g\) be an oriented semi-Riemannian spin manifold with the spinor bundle \(S\). A Killing spinor is defined as a solution of the field equation \(\Delta^S_X\varphi=\lambda X\cdot\varphi\) for all vector fields \(X\) and a killing number \(\lambda\in\mathbb{C}\), where \(\Delta^S\) denotes the spinor derivative and \(\cdot\) the Clifford multiplication. In this very technical paper with a long list of special definitions, imaginary Killing spinors on \((2,n- 2)\)-manifold admitting an imaginary Killing spinor with non-trivial Dirac current are considered. The authors prove that the above manifolds are at least locally a codimension one warped product with a special warping function. As a corollary, it is proved that a \((2,2)\)-manifold with the above property are Einstein iff are conformal flat. Moreover, the authors prove that a \((2,2)\)-manifold admitting an imaginary Killing spinor \(\varphi\) with first integral \(Q_\varphi\neq 0\) is Einstein. There are also examples of manifolds with \(q_\varphi= 0\) and \(Q_\varphi< 0\).
