In this note, we prove an optimal upper bound for the first Dirac eigenvalue of some hypersurfaces in Euclidean space by combining a positive mass theorem and the construction of quasi-spherical metrics. As a direct consequence of this…

The Dirac eigenvalues form a subset of observables of the Euclidean gravity. The symplectic two-form in the covariant phase space could be expressed, in principle, in terms of the Dirac eigenvalues. We discuss the existence of the formal…

We present a uniform description of $\mathrm{SU}(3)$-structures in dimension $6$ as well as $G_2$-structures in dimension $7$ in terms of a characterising spinor and the spinorial field equations it satisfies. We apply the results to…

We study the interplay between basic Dirac operator and transverse Killing and twistor spinors. In order to obtain results for general Riemannian foliations with bundle-like metric we consider transverse Killing spinors that appear as…

We consider several classes of symmetries of the Dirac Hamiltonian in 3+1 dimensions, with axially-deformed scalar and vector potentials. The symmetries include the known pseudospin and spin limits and additional symmetries which occur when…

We extend the notion of Dirac oscillator in two dimensions, to construct a set of potentials. These potentials becomes exactly and quasi-exactly solvable potentials of non-relativistic quantum mechanics when they are transformed into a…

The problem of a fermion subject to a general scalar potential in a two-dimensional world for nonzero eigenenergies is mapped into a Sturm-Liouville problem for the upper component of the Dirac spinor. In the specific circumstance of an…

In this short article, we non-perturbatively derive a recursive formula for the Green's function associated with finitely many point Dirac delta potentials in one dimension. We also extend this formula to the case for the Dirac delta…

We use the Dirac operator technique to establish sharp distance estimates for compact spin manifolds under lower bounds on the scalar curvature in the interior and on the mean curvature of the boundary. In the situations we consider, we…

In this paper we give a spinorial representation of submanifolds of any dimension and codimension into Riemannian space forms in terms of the existence of so called generalized Killing spinors. We then discuss several applications, among…

The decomposition of $Spin^{c}(4)$ gauge potential in terms of the Dirac 4% -spinor is investigated, where an important characterizing equation $\Delta A_{\mu}=-\lambda A_{\mu}$ has been discovered. Here $\lambda $ is the vacuum expectation…

By a theorem of Mclean, the deformation space of an associative submanifold Y of an integrable G_2 manifold (M,\phi) can be identified with the kernel of a Dirac operator D:\Omega^{0}(\nu) -->\Omega^{0}(\nu) on the normal bundle \nu of Y.…

We consider an elliptic self-adjoint first order differential operator L acting on pairs (2-columns) of complex-valued half-densities over a connected compact 3-dimensional manifold without boundary. The principal symbol of the operator L…

We define a measure of spectral asymmetry for G_2 and Spin(7) manifolds. We show that this invariant can be computed in terms of characteristic classes and the covariant constant form defining the G_2 or Spin(7) structure.

Let us fix a conformal class $[g_0]$ and a spin structure $\sigma$ on a compact manifold $M$. For any $g\in [g_0]$, let $\lambda^+_1(g)$ be the smallest positive eigenvalue of the Dirac operator $D$ on $(M,g,\sigma)$. In a previous paper we…

We investigate parallel spinors on the Eguchi-Hanson metrics and find the space of complex parallel spinors are complex 2-dimensional. For the metrics of Eguchi-Hanson type with the zero scalar curvature, we separate variables for the…

We define (higher rank) spinorially twisted spin structures and deduce various curvature identites as well as estimates for the eigenvalues of the corresponding twisted Dirac operators.

The purpose of this note is to extend to any space dimension the bilinear estimate for eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator on a compact manifold (without boundary) obtained in a previous work in dimension 2. We also give some related…
