A spectral estimate for the Dirac operator on Riemannian flows

Differential Geometry 2010-10-07 v1

Abstract

We give a new upper bound for the smallest eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on a Riemannian flow carrying transversal Killing spinors. We derive an estimate on Sasakian and on 3-dimensional manifolds and partially classify those satisfying the limiting case. Finally, we compare our estimate with a lower bound in terms of a natural tensor depending on the eigenspinor.
