Abstract

For non-trivial solutions to the zero mode equation on a closed spin manifold Dφ=iAφ,D \varphi=iA\cdot \varphi, we first provide a simple proof for the sharp inequality \eq{ \norm{A}_{L^n}^2 \ge \frac {n}{4(n-1)} Y(M,[g]), } where Y(M,[g])Y(M,[g]) is the Yamabe constant of (M,g)(M,g), which was obtained by Frank-Loss and Reuss. Then we classify completely the equality case by proving that equality holds if and only if φ\varphi is a Killing spinor, and if and only if (M,g)(M,g) is a Sasaki-Einstein manifold with AA (up to scaling) as its Reeb field and φ\varphi a vacuum up to a conformal transformation. More generalizations have been also studied.

Added a generalized result in Section 5; revised argument in the proof of Theorem 5.7, results unchanged
