The Hijazi inequality on manifolds with boundary (Q2507869)

The author proves the Hijazi inequality on compact Riemannian spin manifolds for two boundary conditions: the conditions associated with a chirality operator, and the Riemannian version of the MIT bag condition. He shows that in the first case the limiting case is characterized by a half-sphere, while in the second case the equality cannot hold. Contents include: An introduction (which contains a succinct overview of the subject); Spin manifolds with boundary; Local elliptic boundary conditions for the Dirac operator; The condition associated with a chirality operator; and a bibliography of twenty-four references.
