On manifolds with non-trivial Killing tensors admitting a square root of the Killing-Yano type one can construct non-standard Dirac operators which differ from, but commute with, the standard Dirac operator. We relate the index problem for…
We study the eigenvalue problem for the $p$-Laplacian on K\"ahler manifolds. Our first result is a lower bound for the first nonzero eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian on compact K\"ahler manifolds in terms of dimension, diameter, and lower…
Quaternionic and octonionic spinors are introduced and their fundamental properties (such as the space-times supporting them) are reviewed. The conditions for the existence of their associated Dirac equations are analyzed. Quaternionic and…
We study an example of an index problem for a Dirac-like operator subject to Atiyah-Patodi-Singer boundary conditions on a noncommutative manifold with boundary, namely the quantum unit disk.
In [10], Dabrowski etc. gave spectral Einstein bilinear functionals of differential forms for the Hodge-Dirac operator $d+\delta$ on an oriented even-dimensional Riemannian manifold. In this paper, we generalize the results of Dabrowski…
We study conformal $Spin$-subgeometry of submanifolds in a semi-Riemannian $Spin$-manifold, focusing on conformal $Spin$-manifolds $(M,[h])$ and their Poincar\'e-Einstein metrics $(X,g_+)$. Our approach is based on the spectral theory of…
In this paper, we estimate the eigenvalues of the twisted Dirac operator on K\"ahler submanifolds of the complex projective space $CP^m$ and we discuss the sharpness of this estimate for the embedding $CP^d \hookrightarrow CP^m$.
We study the spectrum of the Dirac operator on hyperbolic manifolds of finite volume. Depending on the spin structure it is either discrete or the whole real line. For link complements in S^3 we give a simple criterion in terms of linking…
We compute the spectrum of the Dirac operator on 3-dimensional Heisenberg manifolds. The behavior under collapse to the 2-torus is studied. Depending on the spin structure either all eigenvalues tend to $\pm\infty$ or there are eigenvalues…
We show that the eigenvalues of the intrinsic Dirac operator on the boundary of a Euclidean domain can be obtained as the limits of eigenvalues of Euclidean Dirac operators, either in the domain with a MIT-bag type boundary condition or in…
It has recently been conjectured that the eigenvalues $\lambda$ of the Dirac operator on a closed Riemannian spin manifold $M$ of dimension $n\ge 3$ can be estimated from below by the total scalar curvature: $$ \lambda^2 \ge…
We prove Lieb-Thirring-type bounds for fractional Schr\"odinger operators and Dirac operators with complex-valued potentials. The main new ingredient is a resolvent bound in Schatten spaces for the unperturbed operator, in the spirit of…
Consider the eigenvalue problem generated by a fixed differential operator with a sign-changing weight on the eigenvalue term. We prove that as the negative part of the weight is rescaled towards negative infinity on some subregion, the…
We study the Einstein-Dirac equation as well as the weak Killing equation on Riemannian spin manifolds with codimension one foliation. We prove that, for any manifold $M^n$ admitting real Killing spinors (resp. parallel spinors), there…
We consider the problem of minimizing the eigenvalues of the Schr\"{o}dinger operator $H=-\Delta+\alpha F(\ka)$ ($\alpha>0$) on a compact $n-$manifold subject to the restriction that $\ka$ has a given fixed average $\ka_{0}$. In the…
We prove eigenvalue bounds for Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta_g+V$ on compact manifolds with complex potentials $V$. The bounds depend only on an $L^q$-norm of the potential, and they are shown to be optimal, in a certain sense, on the…

We establish the factorization of Dirac operators on Riemannian submersions of compact spin$^c$ manifolds in unbounded KK-theory. More precisely, we show that the Dirac operator on the total space of such a submersion is unitarily…
The aim of this paper is to study the existence of eigenvalues in the gap of the essential spectrum of the one-dimensional Dirac operator in the presence of a bounded potential. We employ a generalized variational principle to prove…
We consider the Dirac operator on globally hyperbolic manifolds with timelike boundary and show well-posedness of the Cauchy initial-boundary value problem coupled to MIT-boundary conditions. This is achieved by transforming the problem…
