Abstract

This paper is concerned with the zero mode equation Dgφ=iAφD_g\varphi=iA\cdot\varphi on product of closed spin manifolds (M1n1×M2n2,g1+g2,σ)(M_1^{n_1}\times M_2^{n_2},g_1+g_2,\sigma) of dimensions n1n2n_1\leq n_2 respectively. Here AA is a real vector field on Mn=M1n1×M2n2M^n=M_1^{n_1}\times M_2^{n_2}. Under non-increasing condition on φ|\varphi| we prove that An2n24(n21)Y(Mn,[g]),\parallel A\parallel_n^2\geq\frac{n_2}{4(n_2-1)}Y(M^n,[g]), where Y(Mn,[g])Y(M^n,[g]) is the Yamabe constant of (Mn,g)(M^n,g). This estimate is sharp in even dimensions. We also obtain a similar estimate for non trivial solutions of the zero mode type equation Dgφ=fφD_g\varphi=f\varphi, where ff is a scalar function.
