- Description
- We look at first-order operators taking solutions to the twistor equation to solutions to the Dirac equation. This leads us to an interesting family of conformally-covariant equations for differential forms of arbitrary degree. This family of equations includes the conformally-covariant Laplace equation and the generalised (to middle-forms) Maxwell equation. First-order symmetry operators for this family give us second-order ones for the homogeneous members. We outline how this works in the conformally-flat case.
