Abstract: Let $(M,g,sigma)$ be a compact Riemmannian surface equipped with a spin structure $sigma$. For any metric $ildeg$ on $M$, we denote by $m{u}_1(ildeg)$ (resp. $lambd{a}_1(ildeg)$) the first positive eigenvalue of the Laplacian (resp. the Dirac operator) with respect to the metric $ildeg$. In this paper, we show that ${\displaystyle }$inf frac{lambda_1( ilde{g})^2}{mu_1( ilde{g})} leqslant {1/2}.${\displaystyle }$ where the infimum is taken over the metrics $ildeg$ conformal to $g$. This answer a question asked by Agricola, Ammann and Friedrich
