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.
