Abstract

We show that, in round spheres of dimension n3n\geq3, for any given collection of codimension 2 smooth submanifolds S:={Σ1,...,ΣN}\mathfrak{S}:=\{\Sigma_1,...,\Sigma_N\} of arbitrarily complicated topology (NN being the complex dimension of the spinor bundle), there is always an eigenfunction ψ=(ψ1,...,ψN)\psi=(\psi_1,...,\psi_N) of the Dirac operator such that each submanifold Σa\Sigma_a, modulo ambient diffeomorphism, is a structurally stable nodal set of the spinor component ψa\psi_a. The result holds for any choice of trivialization of the spinor bundle. The emergence of these structures takes place at small scales and sufficiently high energies.
