Abstract: We introduce a notion of twisted pure spinor in order to characterize, in a unified way, all the special Riemannian holonomy groups just as a classical pure spinor characterizes the special K"ahler holonomy. Motivated by certain curvature identities satisfied by manifolds admitting parallel twisted pure spinors, we also introduce the Clifford monopole equations as a natural geometric generalization of the Seiberg-Witten equations. We show that they restrict to the Seiberg-Witten equations in 4 dimensions, and that they admit non-trivial solutions on manifolds with special Riemannian holonomy.

Review text

Special Riemannian holonomies are characterized by the existence of parallel twisted pure spinor fields. Clifford monopole equations are considered as a geometric generalization of the Seiberg-Witten equations. It is shown that the Clifford monopole equations restrict to the Seiberg-Witten equations on 4-dimensional manifolds. Some problems about non-trivial solutions of the Clifford monopole equations on manifolds with special Riemannian holonomy are studied.
