Abstract: It is shown that on a compact spin symmetric space with a K"ahler or Quaternion-K"ahler structure, the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator is linked to a {lowest} action of the holonomy, given by the fiberwise action on spinors of the canonical forms characterized by this holonomy. The result is also verified for the symmetric space $mathrm{F}_4/mathrm{Spin}_9$, proving that it is valid for all the {possible} holonomies in the Berger's list occurring in that context. The proof requires a characterization of the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator which was given in Commun. Math. Phys. extbf{259} (2005), n.~1, 71-78. By the way, we review an incorrect statement in a proof of that article.

Review text

The main result in the paper under review may be stated as follows. Let $G/K$ be a spin compact simply connected irreducible symmetric space of type ``I, where $G$ is a simple compact simply connected Lie group and $K$ a maximal compact subgroup. Suppose that $G/K$ is endowed with a Kähler or quaternion-Kähler structure. Then among the spinor fields $\Psi$ satisfying $D^2\Psi=\lambda^2\Psi$, where $\lambda$ is the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator $D$, there exists at least one such that \[ \frac{\|\Omega\cdot\Psi\|^2}{\|\Psi\|^2},\text{ respectively }\frac{\|(\Omega-6m\mathrm{Id})\cdot\Psi\|^2}{\|\Psi\|^2},\text{ is minimal}\] where $\Omega$ is respectively the Kähler form of the fundamental quaternion-Kähler $4$-form. Here $n=4n$ is the dimension of $G/K$. Analogous results are also proved for Cayley planes.
