Research Abstract

The Dirac operators and spinors are important geometrical tools to investigate differential manifolds. Such a filed in mathematics is called “spin geometry”. The purpose of this project is that we develop spin geometry with the Rarita-Schwinger operators instead of the Dirac operators. We have the following results:
(1) Some properties of spectra of the Rarita-Schwinger operator on the 3-dimHeisenberg manifold.
(2) Eta-functions and their special values for the Dirac operators on some 3-dimmanifolds (by joint work).
Besides, we found some ideas to develop spin geometry with the Rarita-Schwingeroperators.
