Eigenvalue Bounds for the Dirac Operator
نویسنده
چکیده
A natural question in the study of geometric operators is that of how much information is needed to estimate the eigenvalues of an operator. For the square of the Dirac operator, such a question has at least peripheral physical import. When coupled to gauge fields, the lowest eigenvalue is related to chiral symmetry breaking. In the pure metric case, lower eigenvalue estimates may help to give a sharper estimate of the ADM mass of an asymptotically flat spacetime with black holes. We use three tools to estimate the eigenvalues of the square of the (purely metric) Dirac operator the conformal covariance of the operator, a patching method and a heat kernel bound.

متن کاملExtrinsic Bounds for Eigenvalues of the Dirac Operator
We derive upper eigenvalue bounds for the Dirac operator of a closed hypersurface in a manifold with Killing spinors such as Euclidean space, spheres or hyperbolic space. The bounds involve the Willmore functional. Relations with the Willmore inequality are briefly discussed. In higher codimension we obtain bounds on the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator of the submanifold twisted with the spin...

We prove new lower bounds for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on compact manifolds whose Weyl tensor or curvature tensor, respectively, is divergence free. In the special case of Einstein manifolds, we obtain estimates depending on the Weyl tensor.
متن کاملEigenvalue Estimates for Dirac Operator with the Generalized Aps Boundary Condition
Under two boundary conditions: the generalized Atiyah-Patodi-Singer boundary condition and the modified generalized Atiyah-Patodi-Singer boundary condition, we get the lower bounds for the eigenvalues of the fundamental Dirac operator on compact spin manifolds with nonempty boundary.
متن کاملOn Eigenvalue Estimates for the Submanifold Dirac Operator
We give lower bounds for the eigenvalues of the submanifold Dirac operator in terms of intrinsic and extrinsic curvature expressions. We also show that the limiting cases give rise to a class of spinor fields generalizing that of Killing spinors. We conclude by translating these results in terms of intrinsic twisted Dirac operators.
