Structure of the curvature tensor on symplectic spinors

Abstract

We study symplectic manifolds (M2l,ω) equipped with a symplectic torsion-free affine (also called Fedosov) connection ∇ and admitting a metaplectic structure. Let S be the so called symplectic spinor bundle and let RS be the curvature tensor field of the symplectic spinor covariant derivative ∇S associated to the Fedosov connection ∇. It is known that the space of symplectic spinor valued exterior differential 2-forms, (M,2T*M S), decomposes into three invariant spaces with respect to the structure group, which is the metaplectic group Mp(2l,R) in this case. For a symplectic spinor field φ ∈ (M,S), we compute explicitly the projections of RSφ ∈ (M,2T*M S) onto the three mentioned invariant spaces in terms of the symplectic Ricci and symplectic Weyl curvature tensor fields of the connection ∇. Using this decomposition, we derive a complex of first order differential operators provided the Weyl tensor of the Fedosov connection is trivial.
