Abstract:
Fermions in D=4 self-dual Euclidean Taub-NUT space are investigated. Dirac-type operators involving Killing-Yano tensors of the Taub-NUT geometry are explicitly given showing that they anticommute with the standard Dirac operator and commute with the Hamiltonian as it is expected. They are connected with the "hidden" symmetries of the space allowing the construction of a conserved operator analogous to the Runge-Lenz vector of the Kepler problem. This operator is written down pointing out its algebraic properties.
