Abstract
The geometry of four-dimensional Kahler manifolds is discussed, and it is shown that the existence of a certain constant spinor enables one to obtain relations between the spectra of wave operators of different spins in an Einstein-Kahler space. This result can be regarded as a generalisation of one discovered recently by Hawking and Pope (1978) in spaces with half-flat Riemann tensor.Keywords
