Zero sets of eigenspinors for generic metrics

Differential Geometry 2014-06-12 v2

Abstract

Let MM be a closed connected spin manifold of dimension 22 or 33 with a fixed orientation and a fixed spin structure. We prove that for a generic Riemannian metric on MM the non-harmonic eigenspinors of the Dirac operator are nowhere zero. The proof is based on a transversality theorem and the unique continuation property of the Dirac operator.
