Abstract

We give estimates for the eigenvalues of multi-form modified Dirac operators which are constructed from a standard Dirac operator with the addition of a Clifford algebra element associated to a multi-degree form. In particular such estimates are presented for modified Dirac operators with a kk-degree form 0k40\leq k\leq 4, those modified with multi-degree (0,k)(0,k)-form 0k30\leq k\leq 3 and the horizon Dirac operators which are modified with a multi-degree (1,2,4)(1,2,4)-form. In particular, we give the necessary geometric conditions for such operators to admit zero modes as well as those for the zero modes to be parallel with a respect to a suitable connection. We also demonstrate that manifolds which admit such parallel spinors are associated with twisted covariant form hierarchies which generalize the conformal Killing-Yano forms.
