    In this paper we deal with Rarita-Schwinger type operators on spheres and real projective space. First we define the spherical Rarita-Schwinger type operators and construct their fundamental solutions. Then we establish that the projection operators appearing in the spherical Rarita-Schwinger type operators and the spherical Rarita-Schwinger type equations are conformally invariant under the Cayley transformation. Further, we obtain some basic integral formulas related to the spherical Rarita-Schwinger type operators. Second, we define the Rarita-Schwinger type operators on the real projective space and construct their kernels and Cauchy integral formulas.Comment: 21 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1106.358

    A Clifford analysis approach to superspace

    Full text link
    A new framework for studying superspace is given, based on methods from Clifford analysis. This leads to the introduction of both orthogonal and symplectic Clifford algebra generators, allowing for an easy and canonical introduction of a super-Dirac operator, a super-Laplace operator and the like. This framework is then used to define a super-Hodge coderivative, which, together with the exterior derivative, factorizes the Laplace operator. Finally both the cohomology of the exterior derivative and the homology of the Hodge operator on the level of polynomial-valued super-differential forms are studied. This leads to some interesting graphical representations and provides a better insight in the definition of the Berezin-integral.Comment: 15 pages, accepted for publication in Annals of Physic

    Differential forms and Clifford analysis

    Get PDF
    In this paper we use a calculus of differential forms which is defined using an axiomatic approach. We then define integration of differential forms over chains in a new way and we present a short proof of Stokes' formula using distributional techniques. We also consider differential forms in Clifford analysis, vector differentials and their powers. This framework enables an easy proof for a Cauchy's formula on a k-surface. Finally, we discuss how to compute winding numbers in terms of the monogenic Cauchy kernel and the vector differentials with a new approach which does not involve cohomology of differential forms

    Monogenic Gaussian distribution in closed form and the Gaussian fundamental solution

    Full text link
    In this paper we present a closed formula for the CK-extension of the Gaussian distribution in Rm\mathbb R^m, and the monogenic version of the holomorphic function exp(z2/2)/z\exp(z^2/2)/z which is a fundamental solution of the generalized Cauchy-Riemann operator

    A discrete Bochner-Martinelli formula

    Get PDF
    In the even dimensional case the discrete Dirac equation may be reduced to the so-called discrete isotonic Dirac system in which suitable Dirac operators appear from both sides in half the dimension. This is an appropriated framework for the development of a discrete Martinelli-Bochner formula for discrete holomorphic functions on the simplest of all graphs, the rectangular Z(m) one. Two lower-dimensional cases are considered explicitly to illustrate the closed analogy with the theory of continuous variables and the developed discrete scheme
