Complex contact structures and the first eigenvalue of the dirac operator on Kähler manifolds

Abstract

In this paper Kählerian Killing spinors on manifolds of complex dimensionm=4l+3 are constructed. The construction is based on a theorem which states that a closed Kähler Einstein manifold of complex dimension 4l+3 and positive scalar curvature admits a Kählerian Killing spinor if and only if there is a complex (2l+1)-contact structure. In particular, any complex contact structure in the usual sense gives rise to such a generalized contact structure. Using this, new examples of Kählerian Killing spinors are obtained.
