In [Comm. Anal. Geom., 13(5):845-885, 2005.], Bartnik described the phase space for the Einstein equations, modelled on weighted Sobolev spaces with local regularity $(g,\pi)\in H^2\times H^1$. In particular, it was established that the…

This paper is devoted to the study of a problem arising from a geometric context, namely the conformal deformation of a Riemannian metric to a scalar flat one having constant mean curvature on the boundary. By means of blow-up analysis…

We obtain two types of results on positive scalar curvature metrics for compact spin manifolds that are even dimensional. The first type of result are obstructions to the existence of positive scalar curvature metrics on such manifolds,…

Two explicit formulas for metric connections in the bundle of Dirac spinors are studied. Their equivalence is proved. The explicit formula relating the spinor curvature tensor with the Riemann curvature tensor is rederived.

We study a conformally invariant equation involving the Dirac operator and a non-linearity of convolution type. This non-linearity is inspired from the conformal Einstein-Dirac problem in dimension 4. We first investigate the compactness,…

Let $(\Sigma, g_1)$ be a compact Riemann surface with conical singularites of angles in $(0, 2\pi)$, and $f: \Sigma\to\mathbb R$ be a positive smooth function. In this paper, by establishing a sharp quantization result, we prove the…

Let $M$ be a closed connected spin manifold of dimension $2$ or $3$ with a fixed orientation and a fixed spin structure. We prove that for a generic Riemannian metric on $M$ the non-harmonic eigenspinors of the Dirac operator are nowhere…

We study existence of invariant Einstein metrics on complex Stiefel manifolds $G/K = \SU(\ell+m+n)/\SU(n) $ and the special unitary groups $G = \SU(\ell+m+n)$. We decompose the Lie algebra $\frak g$ of $G$ and the tangent space $\frak p$ of…

On the universal bundle of unit spinors we study a natural energy functional whose critical points, if dim M \geq 3, are precisely the pairs (g, {\phi}) consisting of a Ricci-flat Riemannian metric g together with a parallel g-spinor…

In this article, we study a generalisation of the Seiberg-Witten equations, replacing the spinor representation with a hyperKahler manifold equipped with certain symmetries. Central to this is the construction of a (non-linear) Dirac…

In this paper we present a detailed calculation of an Ansatz that allows to obtain spherically symmetric Einstein-Dirac configurations in $d$-dimensions. We show that this is possible by combining $2^{\lfloor \frac{d-2}{2} \rfloor}$ Dirac…

Building on previous results, we complete the classification of compact oriented Einstein 4-manifolds with det (W^+) > 0. There are, up to diffeomorphism, exactly 15 manifolds that carry such metrics, and, on each of these manifolds, such…

The Seiberg-Witten equation with multiple spinors generalises the classical Seiberg-Witten equation in dimension three. In contrast to the classical case, the moduli space of solutions $\mathcal{M}$ can be non-compact due to the appearance…
