I was reading in this book: Supergravity for Daniel Freedman and was checking the part that has to do with Extremal Reissner Nordstrom Black Hole. He was using killing spinors (that I am very new to).
I was understanding the theory until he stated with the calculations:
He said that the Supersymmetry transformation (21.49) in his book is:
δψiμ=(∂μ+1/4γabωμab)ϵi−1/8√2κγabFabϵijγμϵj
He then started "It is convenient to work with the chiral projections of the two Majo-rana spinors. We thus use the up/down position of the R-symmetry indices, now denoted by (A, B=1, 2), to specify the chirality. Thus, for the SUSY transformation parameters,
we have"
γ∗ϵA=PLϵA=ϵA and γ∗ϵA=−PRϵAA=−ϵA where γ∗ is the usual γ5 and PL and PR are projection operators to define chiral parts.
So back to the first equation that I wrote here: He substituted it with:
δψtA=∂tϵA+1/2e2U∂iUγiγ0ϵA−1/4√2κeu∂iAtγiϵABϵb=0
It is specifically the substitutions that I could not follow, where did the gamma matrices in the last equation come from?
Concerning the spin conection I found them to be: ω0i=eU∂iUe0 and ωij=−dxi∂jU+dxj∂iU and they each have 2 indices while in the supersymmetry transformation equation the omega has 3 indices. I know I am missing something and I hope you can help me understand the substitution better.
