Review text

The present paper gives a detailed investigation of the kernel of the Dirac operator on a \(\text{spin}^c\)-manifold. The author studies the dependence of the dimension of the Dirac operator on the Riemannian metric of the underlying manifold as well as on the connection in the canonical line bundle of a fixed \(\text{spin}^c\)-structure. He also discusses applications to Seiberg-Witten theory.
