Let $(X,g)$ be a compact $n$-dimensional smooth Riemannian manifold with a lower bound on the average of the lowest $n-p$ eigenvalues of the curvature operator and the diameter of $X$ is bounded above by $D>0$. In this article, we…
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.…
In this article we analyze the spectral properties of the curl operator on closed Riemannian 3-manifolds. Specifically, we study metrics that are optimal in the sense that they minimize the first curl eigenvalue among any other metric of…
We show that for almost every given symmetry transformation of a Riemannian manifold there exists an eigenvector field of the curl operator, corresponding to a non-zero eigenvalue, which obeys the symmetry. More precisely, given a smooth,…
We study the minimization problem for eigenvalues of the Dirac operator within a fixed conformal class on a closed spin Riemannian manifold. We establish a criterion for the existence of a minimizer for this variational problem, focusing…
Our main goal in the present paper is to expand the known class of open manifolds over which the $L^2$-spectrum of a general Dirac operator and its square is maximal. To achieve this, we first find sufficient conditions on the manifold so…
We study Dirac operators on resolutions of Riemannian orbifolds by developing a uniform elliptic theory. The key idea is to view orbifolds as conically fibred singular (CFS) spaces and resolve them by gluing asymptotically conical…
We consider an isoperimetric problem involving the smallest positive and largest negative curl eigenvalues on abstract ambient manifolds, with a focus on the standard model spaces. We in particular show that the corresponding eigenvalues on…
We show that the first five of the axioms we had formulated on spectral triples suffice (in a slightly stronger form) to characterize the spectral triples associated to smooth compact manifolds. The algebra, which is assumed to be…
We consider the boundary value problem associated to the curl operator, with vanishing Dirichlet boundary conditions. We prove, under mild regularity of the data of the problem, existence of classical solutions.
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…
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…
We extend to the eigenvalues of the hypersurface Spin$^c$ Dirac operator well known lower and upper bounds. Examples of limiting cases are then given. Futhermore, we prove a correspondence between the existence of a Spin$^c$ Killing spinor…
We develop elliptic regularity theory for Dirac operators in a very general framework: we consider Dirac operators linear over $C^*$-algebras, on noncompact manifolds, and in families which are not necessarily locally trivial fibre bundles.
We prove a new upper bound for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator of a compact hypersurface in any Riemannian spin manifold carrying a non-trivial twistor spinor without zeros on the hypersurface. The upper bound is expressed as the…
We present a new description of the spectrum of the (spin-) Dirac operator $D$ on lens spaces. Viewing a spin lens space $L$ as a locally symmetric space $\Gamma\backslash \operatorname{Spin}(2m)/\operatorname{Spin}(2m-1)$ and exploiting…
We describe both the Hodge - de Rham and the spin manifold Dirac operator on the spheres ${\rm S}^3$ and ${\rm S}^2$, following the formalism introduced by K\"ahler, and exhibit a complete spectral resolution for them in terms of suitably…
We study the asymptotic of the spectrum of the \spin Dirac operator on high tensor powers of a line bundle. As application, we get a simple proof of the main result of Guillemin-Uribe, which was originally proved by using the analysis of…
We find a large family of solutions to the Dirac equation on a manifold of $G_2$ holonomy asymptotic to a cone over $S^3 \times S^3$, including all radial solutions. The behaviour of these solutions is studied as the manifold developes a…
We establish a lower bound for the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator defined on a compact K\"ahler-Einstein manifold of positive scalar curvature and endowed with particular ${\rm spin}^c$ structures. The limiting case is characterized by…
