General Spinor Structures on Quantum Spaces

Abstract

A general theory of quantum spinor structures on quantum spaces is presented, within the conceptual framework of the formalism of quantum principal bundles. Quantum analogs of all basic objects of the classical theory are constructed and analyzed. This includes Laplace and Dirac operators, quantum versions of Clifford and spinor bundles, a Hodge *-operator, appropriate integration operators, and mutual relations of these objects. We also present a self-contained formalism of braided Clifford algebras. Quantum phenomena appearing in the theory are discussed, including a very interesting example of the Dirac operator associated to a quantum Hopf fibration.
