The zero modes and zero resonances of the Dirac operator $H=\alpha\cdot D + Q(x)$ are discussed, where $\alpha= (\alpha_1, \alpha_2, \alpha_3)$ is the triple of $4 \times 4$ Dirac matrices, $ D=\frac{1}{i} \nabla_x$, and $Q(x)=\big(q_{jk}…

We study the decay rate of the zero modes of the Dirac operator with a matrix-valued potential that is considered here without any regularity assumptions, compared to the existing literature. For the Dirac operator and for Clifford-valued…

We consider the massless Dirac operator $H=\alpha \cdot D+Q(x)$ on the Hilbert space $L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{3},\mathbb{C}^{4})$, where $Q(x)$ is a $4\times4$ Hermitian matrix valued function which suitably decays at infinity. We show that the…

Asymptotic behaviors of zero modes of the massless Dirac operator $H=\alpha\cdot D + Q(x)$ are discussed, where $\alpha= (\alpha_1, \alpha_2, \alpha_3)$ is the triple of $4 \times 4$ Dirac matrices, $ D=\frac{1}{i} \nabla_x$, and…

The Dirac operator for a manifold Q, and its chirality operator when Q is even dimensional, have a central role in noncommutative geometry. We systematically develop the theory of this operator when Q=G/H, where G and H are compact…

We study the zero modes of the operator $H_f=D^*_fD_f$, with a Dirac type operator $D_f$, acting on the spinor bundle over a closed even dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$. The operator $D_f=D+ifI$ is a deformation of the Dirac operator…

We analyse the normalisable zero-modes of the Dirac operator on the Taub-NUT manifold coupled to an abelian gauge field with self-dual curvature, and interpret them in terms of the zero modes of the Dirac operator on the 2-sphere coupled to…

We revisit the problem of determining the zero modes of the Dirac operator on the Eguchi-Hanson space. It is well known that there are no normalisable zero modes, but such zero modes do appear when the Dirac operator is twisted by a $U(1)$…

On a compact spin manifold we study the space of Riemannian metrics for which the Dirac operator is invertible. The first main result is a surgery theorem stating that such a metric can be extended over the trace of a surgery of codimension…

Let M be a closed spin manifold of dimension congruent to 3 modulo 4. We give a simple proof of the fact that the space of metrics on M with invertible Dirac operator is either empty or it has infinitely many path components.

This article studies a class of Dirac operators of the form $D_\varepsilon= D+\varepsilon^{-1}\mathcal A$, where $\mathcal A$ is a zeroth order perturbation vanishing on a subbundle. When $\mathcal A$ satisfies certain additional…

One of the key properties of Dirac operators is the possibility of a degeneracy of zero modes. For the Abelian Dirac operator in three dimensions the question whether such multiple zero modes may exist has remained unanswered until now.…

The q-deformed fuzzy sphere $S_{qF}^2(N)$ is the algebra of $(N+1)\times(N+1)$ dim. matrices, covariant with respect to the adjoint action of $\uq$ and in the limit $q\to 1$, it reduces to the fuzzy sphere $S_{F}^2(N)$. We construct the…

The existence of normalizable zero modes of the twisted Dirac operator is proven for a class of static Einstein-Yang-Mills background fields with a half-integer Chern-Simons number. The proof holds for any gauge group and applies to Dirac…

By exploiting the relation between static zero modes of massless Dirac operator and Kustaanheimo-Stiefel (Hopf) bundle sections, a general zero modes Ansatz which depends on an arbitrary real vector-function on $R^3$ is constructed.

In this article, we prove a Sobolev-like inequality for the Dirac operator on closed compact Riemannian spin manifolds with a nearly optimal Sobolev constant. As an application, we give a criterion for the existence of solutions to a…

We construct an explicit example of dimensional reduction of the free massless Dirac operator with an internal SU(3) symmetry, defined on a twelve-dimensional manifold that is the total space of a principal SU(3)-bundle over a…

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…

We study Kohn-Dirac operators $D_\theta$ on strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds with ${\rm spin}^{\mathbb C}$ structure of weight $\ell\in{\mathbb Z}$. Certain components of $D_\theta$ are CR invariants. We also derive CR invariant twistor…

We investigate zero modes of the Dirac operator coupled to an Abelian gauge field in three dimensions. We find that the existence of a certain class of zero modes is related to a specific topological property precisely when the requirement…
