Abstract
The Dirac operator is an important tool in physics. The theory of conformal Killing-Yano (CKY) forms shows that the most general symmetry operator for the Dirac equation that is linear in derivatives can be written in terms of CKY forms. In this talk I will provide an introduction to the current state of the theory and discuss recent results. It is possible to generate new CKY forms in terms of “Killing-Yano brackets”, that are linked to Schauten-Nijenhus brackets, by imposing linearity constraints. One application of these ideas is given by Kerr-NUT-(A)dS space-times with a tower of CKY tensors. For these there is a set of mutually commuting operators that commute with the Dirac operator, underlying separability of various field equations in these geometries.
