چکیده
Let M be a compact manifold with a fixed spin structure χ. The Atiyah-Singer index theorem implies that for any metric g on M the dimension of the kernel of the Dirac operator is bounded from below by a topological quantity depending only on M and χ. We show that for generic metrics on M this bound is attained.

Dirac-harmonic maps from index theory
We prove existence results for Dirac-harmonic maps using index theoretical tools. They are mainly interesting if the source manifold has dimension 1 or 2 modulo 8. Our solutions are uncoupled in the sense that the underlying map between the source and target manifolds

Hedlund [He] constructed Riemannian metrics on n-tori, n ≥ 3 for which minimal geodesics are very rare. In this paper we construct similar examples for every nilpotent fundamental group. These examples show that Bangert’s existence results of minimal geodesics [Ba2] are optimal for nilpotent fundamental groups.
متن کاملThe conformal Yamabe constant of product manifolds
Let (V, g) and (W,h) be compact Riemannian manifolds of dimension at least 3. We derive a lower bound for the conformal Yamabe constant of the product manifold (V × W, g + h) in terms of the conformal Yamabe constants of (V, g) and (W,h).
متن کاملL-spectrum of the Dirac operator on products with hyperbolic spaces
We study the Lp-spectrum of the Dirac operator on complete manifolds. One of the main questions in this context is whether this spectrum depends on p. As a rst example where p-independence fails we compute explicitly the Lp-spectrum for the hyperbolic space and its product with compact spaces.
متن کاملSquare-integrability of solutions of the Yamabe equation
We show that solutions of the Yamabe equation on certain ndimensional non-compact Riemannian manifolds which are bounded and Lp for p = 2n/(n−2) are also L2. This Lp-L2-implication provides explicit constants in the surgery-monotonicity formula for the smooth Yamabe invariant in our article [1]. As an application we see that the smooth Yamabe invariant of any 2connected compact 7-dimensional ma...
متن کاملThe spinoral energy functional on surfaces
This is a companion paper to [1] where we introduced the spinorial energy functional and studied its main properties in dimensions equal or greater than three. In this article we focus on the surface case. A salient feature here is the scale invariance of the functional which leads to a plenitude of critical points. Moreover, via the spinorial Weierstraß representation it relates to the Willmor...
