Many applications in science call for the numerical simulation of systems on manifolds with spherical topology. Through use of integer spin weighted spherical harmonics we present a method which allows for the implementation of arbitrary tensorial evolution equations. Our method combines two numerical techniques that were originally developed with different applications in mind. The first is Huffenberger and Wandelts spectral decomposition algorithm to perform the mapping from physical to spectral space. The second is the application of Luscombe and Lubans method, to convert numerically divergent linear recursions into stable nonlinear recursions, to the calculation of reduced Wigner d-functions. We give a detailed discussion of the theory and numerical implementation of our algorithm. The properties of our method are investigated by solving the scalar and vectorial advection equation on the sphere, as well as the 2+1 Maxwell equations on a deformed sphere.

We present a new spectral scheme for analysing functions of half-integer spin-weight on the $2$-sphere and demonstrate the stability and convergence properties of our implementation. The dynamical evolution of the Dirac equation on a manifold with sp
atial topology of $mathbb{S}^2$ via pseudo-spectral method is also demonstrated.
We build a family of explicit one-forms on $S^3$ which are shown to form a complete set of eigenmodes for the Laplace-de Rahm operator.
This is a direct computation of the spectral representation of homogeneous spin-weighted spherical random fields with arbitrary integer spin. It generalises known results from Cosmology for the spin-2 Cosmic Microwave Background polarisation and Cosm
ic Shear fields, without decomposition into $E$- and $B$-modes. The derivation uses an instructive representation of spin-weighted spherical functions over the Spin(3) group, where the transformation behaviour of spin-weighted fields can be treated more naturally than over the sphere, and where the group nature of Spin(3) greatly simplifies calculations for homogeneous spherical fields. It is shown that i) different modes of spin-weighted spherical random fields are generally uncorrelated, ii) the usual definition of the power spectrum generalises, iii) there is a simple relation to recover the correlation function from the power spectrum, and iv) the spectral representation is a sufficient condition for homogeneity of the fields.
A fast and exact algorithm is developed for the spin +-2 spherical harmonics transforms on equi-angular pixelizations on the sphere. It is based on the Driscoll and Healy fast scalar spherical harmonics transform. The theoretical exactness of the tra
nsform relies on a sampling theorem. The associated asymptotic complexity is of order O(L^2 log^2_2(L)), where 2L stands for the square-root of the number of sampling points on the sphere, also setting a band limit L for the spin +-2 functions considered. The algorithm is presented as an alternative to existing fast algorithms with an asymptotic complexity of order O(L^3) on other pixelizations. We also illustrate these generic developments through their application in cosmology, for the analysis of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization data.
We study the (massless) Dirac operator on a 3-sphere equipped with Riemannian metric. For the standard metric the spectrum is known. In particular, the eigenvalues closest to zero are the two double eigenvalues +3/2 and -3/2. Our aim is to analyse th
e behaviour of eigenvalues when the metric is perturbed in an arbitrary smooth fashion from the standard one. We derive explicit perturbation formulae for the two eigenvalues closest to zero, taking account of the second variations. Note that these eigenvalues remain double eigenvalues under perturbations of the metric: they cannot split because of a particular symmetry of the Dirac operator in dimension three (it commutes with the antilinear operator of charge conjugation). Our perturbation formulae show that in the first approximation our two eigenvalues maintain symmetry about zero and are completely determined by the increment of Riemannian volume. Spectral asymmetry is observed only in the second approximation of the perturbation process. As an example we consider a special family of metrics, the so-called generalized Berger spheres, for which the eigenvalues can be evaluated explicitly.
