A conformal lower bound for the smallest eigenvalue of the Dirac operator and Killing spinors (Q1076393): Difference between revisions

Let M be a compact Riemannian spin manifold, \(n:=\dim M\geq 3\) and L the Yamabe operator with first eigenvalue \(\mu_ 1\). Then any eigenvalue \(\lambda\) of the Dirac operator satisfies \(\lambda^ 2\geq (n/4(n- 1))\mu_ 1.\) Discussion of equality: If \(\mu_ 1=0\), M is conformally equivalent to a Ricci-flat manifold; if \(\mu_ 1>0\), M is Einstein.
