A Projective-to-Conformal Fefferman-Type Construction
We study a Fefferman-type construction based on the inclusion of Lie groups SL(n+1) into Spin(n+1,n+1). The construction associates a split-signature (n,n)-conformal spin structure to a projective structure of dimension n. We prove the existence of a canonical pure twistor spinor and a light-like co...

| description | We study a Fefferman-type construction based on the inclusion of Lie groups SL(n+1) into Spin(n+1,n+1). The construction associates a split-signature (n,n)-conformal spin structure to a projective structure of dimension n. We prove the existence of a canonical pure twistor spinor and a light-like conformal Killing field on the constructed conformal space. We obtain a complete characterisation of the constructed conformal spaces in terms of these solutions to overdetermined equations and an integrability condition on the Weyl curvature. The Fefferman-type construction presented here can be understood as an alternative approach to study a conformal version of classical Patterson-Walker metrics as discussed in recent works by Dunajski-Tod and by the authors. The present work therefore gives a complete exposition of conformal Patterson-Walker metrics from the viewpoint of parabolic geometry.
