14 The first task We are going to try to generalize pp waves as follows Conjecture There exists a new class of spacetimes with pp metric and purely axial torsion which are solutions of the field equations (2), (3). Expectations: to prove or disprove conjecture above. to give a physical interpretation of the new solutions and compare them with existing Riemannian solutions.

(8) αγ The massless Dirac operator (8) describes a single massless neutrino living in 3-dimensional compact universe M. The eigenvalues of the massless Dirac operator are the energy levels.

22 The massless Dirac operator Let M be a 3-dimensional connected oriented manifold equipped with a Riemnnian metric g αβ and let W be the corresponding massless Dirac operator (8). Two basic examples when the spectrum of W can be calculated explicitly: the unit torus T 3 equipped with Euclidean metric. the unit sphere S 3 equipped with metric induced by the natural embedding of S 3 in Euclidean space R 4. In both examples the spectrum turns out to be symmetric about zero.

24 The massless Dirac operator Physically, this means that in these two examples there is no difference between the properties of the particle (massless neutrino) and antiparticle (massless antineutrino). For a general oriented Riemannian 3-manifold there is no reason for the spectrum of massless Dirac operator W to be symmetric (M. F. Atiyah, V. K. Patodi and I. M. Singer). Producing explicit examples of spectral asymmetry is a very difficult task.
