Generic metrics and the mass endomorphism on spin three-manifolds (Q849344)

The author introduces the notion of the mass endomorphism on a closed Riemannian spin manifold of dimension \(n\geq 2\), and proves for \(n= 3\) the this endomorphism on a generic metric is non-zero. This result implies a strict inequality, which can be employed to avoid bubbling-off phenomena in conformal spin geometry.
