Conformal killing spinors in supergravity and related aspects of spin geometry
The aims of this thesis are two-fold: finding a geometric realisation for Nahm’s conformal superalgebras and generalising the concept of a conformal Killing spinor to supergravity, in particular M-theory. We introduce the necessary tools of conformal geometry and construct a conformal Killing supera...
