Abstract: We show that the Dirac operator on a spin manifold does not admit $L^2$ eigenspinors provided the metric has a certain asymptotic behaviour and is a warped product near infinity. These conditions on the metric are fulfilled in particular if the manifold is complete and carries a non-complete vector field which outside a compact set is gradient conformal and non-vanishing.

Review text

Let \(({\bar X}, h)\) be a connected spin manifold with metric \(h\) and interior \(X.\) Suppose that there is a boundary component \(M\) such that \(h=dx^2+h_M\) near \(M\) and let \(f: X \mapsto (0,\infty)\) be a smooth conformal factor, depending only on \(x\) in a neighbourhood of \(M.\) Let \(M\) be at infinite distance from \(X\) with respect to the conformal metric \(g=f^2 h=f(x)^2 (dx^2+h_M)\) and let the Dirac operator \(D_M\) on \((M, h_M)\) be essentially self-adjoint. The authors prove that the Dirac operator on \((X,g)\) does not have any distributional \(L^2\) eigenspinors of real eigevalue.
