The spin\(^{\mathbf c}\) Dirac operator on high tensor powers of a line bundle (Q699747)

The authors consider the prequantization line bundle \(L\) as well as a further hermitian vector bundle \(E\) over a compact symplectic manifold \((X,\omega)\). In this situation one has canonically defined spin\(^c\) Dirac operators \(D_k\) acting on forms \(s\) with values in \(L^k\otimes E\). Proving the corresponding Lichnerowicz-type formula, an estimate for \(\|D_ks\|^2\) is derived. This describes the asymptotic of the spectrum of the Dirac operators \(D_k\). Furthermore, certain special cases and applications are discussed.
