✦ Synopsis

General theorems on pin structures on products of manifolds and on homogeneous (pseudo-) Riemannian spaces are given and used to find explicitly all such structures on odd-dimensional real projective quadrics, which are known to be non-orientable (Cahen et al. 1993). It is shown that the product of two manifolds has a pin structure if and only if both are pin and at least one of them is orientable. This general result is illustrated by the example of the product of two real projective planes. It is shown how the Dirac operator should be modified to make it equivariant with respect to the twisted adjoint action of the Pin group. A simple formula is derived for the spectrum of the Dirac operator on the product of two pin manifolds, one of which is orientable, in terms of the eigenvalues of the Dirac operators on the factor spaces.

Let G be a compact connected Lie group, and (M, |) a compact Hamiltonian G-space, with moment map J : M Ä g\*. Under the assumption that these data are pre-quantizable, one can construct an associated Spin c Dirac operator % C , whose equivariant index yields a virtual representation of G. We prove

## Abstract In this paper we study a Fischer decomposition for the parabolic Dirac operator which factorizes the heat equation. Since the standard construction techniques are not valid in our case, due to the non‐homogeneity of the positive parabolic Dirac operator, we first establish and study the

We consider the Dirac operator D of a Lorentzian spin manifold of even dimension n > 4. We prove that the square D 2 of the Dirac operator on plane wave manifolds and the shifted operator D 2 -K on Lorentzian space forms of constant sectional curvature K are of Huygens type. Furthermore, we study th
