Let M be a closed spin manifold of dimension at least three with a fixed topological spin structure. For any Riemannian metric, we can construct the associated Dirac operator. The spectrum of this Dirac operator depends on the metric of…

In this article, we prove that on any compact spin manifold of dimension m congruent 0,6,7 mod 8, there exists a metric, for which the associated Dirac operator has at least one eigenvalue of multiplicity at least two. We prove this by…

This paper is concerned with {an extension and reinterpretation} of previous results on the variational characterization of eigenvalues in gaps of the essential spectrum of self-adjoint operators. {We state} two general abstract results on…

In a system where chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken, the low energy eigenmodes of the continuum Dirac operator are extended. On the lattice, due to discretization effects, the Dirac operator can have localized eigenmodes that affect…

We study the spectrum of spherically symmetric Dirac operators in three-dimensional space with potentials tending to infinity at infinity under weak regularity assumptions. We prove that purely absolutely continuous spectrum covers the…

The aim of this paper is to construct an explicit potential for the Dirac operator that has purely singular continuous spectrum. The characteristic trait of this potential is that it consists of bumps whose distance is growing rapidly. This…

We compare the eigenvalues of the Dirac and Laplace operator on a two-dimensional torus with respect to the trivial spin structure. In particular, we compute their variation up to order 4 upon deformation of the flat metric, study the…

We solve for the spectrum and eigenfunctions of Dirac operator on the sphere. The eigenvalues are nonzero whole numbers. The eigenfunctions are two-component spinors which may be classified by representations of the SU(2) group with…

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…
