Abstract

This is the second part in a series of two papers. The k-Dirac complex is a complex of differential operators which are naturally associated to a particular |2|-graded parabolic geometry.

In this paper we will consider the k-Dirac complex over the homogeneous space of the parabolic geometry and as a first result, we will prove that the k-Dirac complex is formally exact (in the sense of formal power series). Then we will show that the k-Dirac complex descends from an affine subset of the homogeneous space to a complex of linear and constant coefficient differential operators and that the first operator in the descended complex is the k-Dirac operator studied in Clifford analysis.

The main result of this paper is that the descended complex is locally exact and thus it forms a resolution of the k-Dirac operator.
