The Dirac equation provides a description of spin 1/2 particles, consistent with both the principles of quantum mechanics and of special relativity. Often its presentation to students is based on mathematical propositions that may hide the…

We generalize the well-known lower estimates for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on a compact Riemannian spin manifold proved by Th. Friedrich (1980) and O. Hijazi (1986, 1992). The special solutions of the Einstein-Dirac…

This article is one of a series of papers. For this decade, the Dirac operator on a submanifold has been studied as a restriction of the Dirac operator in $n$-dimensional euclidean space $\EE^n$ to a surface or a space curve as physical…

The notion of singular reduction operators, i.e., of singular operators of nonclassical (conditional) symmetry, of partial differential equations in two independent variables is introduced. All possible reductions of these equations to…

This paper reviews some recent work on (s)pin structures and the Dirac operator on hypersurfaces (in particular, on spheres), on real projective spaces and quadrics. Two approaches to spinor fields on manifolds are compared. The action of…

In "Part I: Vector Analysis of Spinors", the author studied the geometry of two component spinors as points on the Riemann sphere in the geometric algebra of three dimensional Euclidean space. Here, these ideas are generalized to apply to…

We derive the most general first order symmetry operator for the Dirac equation coupled to arbitrary fluxes. Such an operator is given in terms of an inhomogenous form omega which is a solution to a coupled system of first order partial…

We present the properties of new Dirac-type operators generated by real or complex-valued special Killing-Yano tensors that are covariantly constant and represent roots of the metric tensor. In the real case these are just the so called…

We study functional determinants for Dirac operators on manifolds with boundary. We give, for local boundary conditions, an explicit formula relating these determinants to the corresponding Green functions. We finally apply this result to…

The quantum disc is used to define a noncommutative analogue of a dense coordinate chart and of left-invariant vector fields on quantum SU(2). This yields two twisted Dirac operators for different twists that are related by a gauge…

Recent progress to construct Dirac operators and spinors on compact quantum groups is discussed. The case $SU_q(2)$ is studied carefully and the relationship between known approaches is explained. New examples are given.

We study the higher spin Dirac operators on 3-dimensional manifolds and show that there exist two Laplace type operators for each associated bundle. Furthermore, we give lower bound estimations for the first eigenvalues of these Laplace…

We characterize the $2$-Killing vector fields on a multiply twisted product manifold, with a special view towards generalized spacetimes. More precisely, we determine the nonlinear differential equations that completely describe them and…

In this paper, we give a geometric expression for the multiplicities of the equivariant index of a spin-c Dirac operator.

We show that the Dirac operator on a spin manifold does not admit $L^2$ eigenspinors provided the metric has a certain asymptotic behaviour and is a warped product near infinity. These conditions on the metric are fulfilled in particular if…

We give a new upper bound for the smallest eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on a Riemannian flow carrying transversal Killing spinors. We derive an estimate on Sasakian and on 3-dimensional manifolds and partially classify those satisfying…
