Abstract: The aim of our article is the study of solution space of the symplectic twistor operator Ts in symplectic spin geometry on standard symplectic space (mathbbR2n,omega), which is the symplectic analogue of the twistor operator in (pseudo)Riemannian spin geometry. In particular, we observe a substantial difference between the case n=1 of real dimension 2 and the case of mathbbR2n, n>1. For n>1, the solution space of Ts is isomorphic to the Segal-Shale-Weil representation.


The authors study the symplectic twistor operator \(T_s\), a symplectic analogue of the twistor operator in Riemannian spin geometry. They study the space of solutions of the equation \(T_ss=0\) on a standard symplectic space \((\mathbb R^{2n},\omega)\). They investigate the action of \(T_s\) on the space of polynomials valued in the vector space of the Segale-Shale-Weyl representation. \(T_s\) is invariant under the metaplectic Lie algebra \(\mathrm{mp}(2n, \mathbb R)\) and the authors obtain the result by investigating the interaction of \(T_s\) with the generators of \(D_s,X_s\) of the Howe dual algebra \(\mathfrak {sl}(2)\). It turns out that for \(n>1\) the solution space of \(T_s\) is isomorphic to the Segal-Shale-Weyl representation. For \(n=1\) the situation is more complicated.
