Harmonic spinors are the elements of the kernel of the Dirac operator on a Riemannian spin manifold with respect to a fixed spin structure. The number of linearly independent harmonic spinors, i.e., the dimension of the kernel of the Dirac operator, depends on the metric as well as on the spin structure used to define the Dirac operator. It does not change under conformal changes of the metric. The author conjectures that the existence of metrics with harmonic spinors is not topologically obstructed. In the paper under review, this is proven for dimensions \(n\equiv 0, 1, 3, 7\bmod 8\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0903.00045].
