Spinor calibration form

ID: spinor-calibration-form

In a flux-free static supergravity background with a parallel unit Killing spinor, this two-form satisfies the membrane tangent-plane bound because is a Hermitian involution. Its eigenvalues are , so , with equality precisely at the kappa symmetry projector condition. Parallel transport gives and hence . This constructs an ordinary calibration; flux backgrounds instead call for a generalized calibration.
