Eigenvalues of the transversal Dirac operator on Kähler foliations (Q2581853)

The author generalizes previous results by \textit{S. D. Jung} [J. Geom. Phys. 39, 253--264 (2001; Zbl 1024.53019), with \textit{T. H. Kang}, ibid. 45, 75--90 (2003; Zbl 1027.53051)] on the lower bound for the square of the first eigenvalue of the (transversal) Dirac operator on a Riemannian Kähler foliation as well as on the limiting case (the generalization mainly concerns the technical assumptions on the type of foliation). Both results generalize \textit{K.-D. Kirchberg}'s seminal results for the Dirac operator on Kählerian manifolds, see [Ann. Global Anal. Geom. 4, 291--325 (1986; Zbl 0629.53058), Math. Ann. 282, No. 1, 157--176 (1988; Zbl 0628.53061), J. Geom. Phys. 7, No. 4, 449--468 (1990; Zbl 0734.53050)].
