On the Infinitesimal Isometries of Manifolds with Killing Spinors.

A. Moroianu

We study the Lie algebra of infinitesimal isometries of 7--dimensional simply connected manifolds with Killing spinors. We obtain some splitting theorems for the action of this algebra on the space of Killing spinors, and as a corollary we prove that there are no infinitesimal isometry of constant length on a 7--dimensional 3--Sasakian manifold (not isometric to a space form) except the linear combinations of the Sasakian vector fields.
