Lower bounds for the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on Spin\(^c\) manifolds (Q988914)

The author extends the celebrated Hijazi inequality involving the energymomentum tensor to the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on \(\text{Spin}^c\) manifolds without boundary. The limiting case of his eigenvalue inequality is examined and an example is presented. Contents include: Introduction (which contains a lucid overview of the topic); \(\text{Spin}^c\) geometry and the Dirac operator; Eigenvalue estimates on \(\text{Spin}^c\) manifolds; Conformal geometry and eigenvalue estimates; The equality case; and References (sixteen items).
