Abstract

Let MM be a closed orientable hypersurface of dimension nn, with nonwhere vanishing mean curvature HH, immersed into a Riemannian Spinc^c manifold Z\mathcal Z carrying a parallel spinor field. The first eigenvalue λ1(̸D)\lambda_1(\not\hspace{-0.1cm}D) (with the least absolute value) of the induced Dirac operator ̸D\not\hspace{-0.1cm}D of MM satisfies the Spinc^c B\"{a}r inequality \begin{eqnarray*} \lambda_1^2 (\not\hspace{-0.1cm}D) \leq \frac{n^2}{4 \ \mathrm{vol}(M)}\int_M H^2 dV, \end{eqnarray*} where vol(M)\mathrm{vol}(M) is the volume of MM and dVdV is the volume form of the manifold MM. In this paper, we classify hypersurfaces MM that satisfy the equality case in the Spinc^c B\"{a}r inequality when Z=(0,+)×P\mathcal Z = (0,+\infty) \times P is the cone over a Riemannian Spinc^c manifold PP carrying a real Killing spinor, under two conditions: one being a Ricci condition on Z\mathcal Z, and the second one the curvature of the auxiliary line bundle associated with the Spinc^c structure on Z\mathcal Z. More precisely, we prove that MM are the slices {s}×P\{s\} \times P, where s(0,+)s \in (0,+\infty). In the special case, when Z=Rn+1\mathcal Z=\mathbb R^{n+1}, i.e., the cone over the sphere, which is a Spin manifold with a parallel spinor, the classification result was previously obtained by Hijazi and Montiel.
