(Anti-) selfdual Riemann curvature tensor in four spacelike compactified dimensions, O5 isometry group and chiral fermion zero modes

The metric and contorsion tensors are constructed which yield a combined Riemann curvature tensor of the form Rsup(+-)sub(μνsigmatau)=(1/2a2)(gsub(μsigma)gsub(νtau) - gsub(μtau)gsub(νsigma)+-√g epsilonsub(μνsigmatau)). The metric with euclidean signature (++++) describes a sphere S4 with radius a, i.e. admits the isometry group O5. For selfdual (antiselfdual) curvature tensor the contorsion tensor is given by the antiselfdual (selfdual) instanton configuration with respect to the spin gauge group SU2sub(R) (SU2sub(L)). The selfdual (antiselfdual) Riemann tensor admits two covariantly constant right-handed (left-handed) spin 1/2 fermion zero modes, one J=1/2 and one J=3/2 right-handed (left-handed) multiplet corresponding to L=1, transforming as a pseudoreal representation of O4 (SU2sub(R(L))). The hermitean Dirac equation retains only the two constant chiral modes. (orig.)
