We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Asymptotically Euclidean manifolds and twistor spinors
Wolfgang Kühnel and Hans-Bert Rademacher
Abstract
Based on the Berger-Simons holonomy classification, we classify all Riemannian spin manifolds carrying a twistor spinor with at least one zero. In particular, the dimension n of the manifold is either even or n=7. The metric is conformal to either a flat metric or a Ricci flat and locally irreducible metric.
