| contents | We develop the differential theory of complex spinorial forms associated with irreducible complex spinors across all dimensions and signatures. This framework enables the study of constrained parallelicity conditions for irreducible complex spinors by reformulating them as equivalent differential systems for exterior forms within a prescribed semi-algebraic body of the Kähler-Atiyah bundle. To illustrate this approach, we first apply it to the spin-c Killing spinor equation in low dimensions, refining existing results by relaxing standard assumptions of simply connectedness and completeness. Then, we proceed to apply our framework to supersymmetry conditions in supergravity, and we prove that every quasi-supersymmetric solution of Freedman's gauged supergravity belongs to an explicit four-parameter family of geodesically complete, globally hyperbolic gyratonic Brinkmann waves with spherical wave fronts. Finally, we study the quasi-supersymmetric solutions of six-dimensional minimal supergravity, defined by a system that couples a self-dual curving on a bundle gerbe to a Lorentzian metric with an irreducible chiral spinor parallel under a metric connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion given by the curvature of the aforementioned curving. Along the way, we prove that a Lorentzian six-manifold admits a skew-torsion parallel spinor with an integrable screen bundle only if it admits a foliation whose leaves are locally conformally Kähler complex surfaces. |
