چکیده
We study the higher spin Dirac operators on 3-dimensional manifolds and show that there exist two Laplace type operators for each associated bundle. Furthermore, we give lower bound estimations for the first eigenvalues of these Laplace type operators.

The Dirac Operator on Lorentzian Spin Manifolds and the Huygens Property
We consider the Dirac operator D of a Lorentzian spin manifold of even dimension n 4. We prove, that the square D 2 of the Dirac operator on plane wave manifolds and the shifted operator D 2 ? K on Lorentzian space forms of constant sectional curvature K are of Huygens type. Furthermore, we study the Huygens property for coupled Dirac operators on 4-dimensional Lorentzian spin manifolds.
متن کاملBranson’s Q-curvature in Spin Geometry
Abstract. We first give an elementary proof of a result relating the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator to Branson’s Q-curvature on 4-dimensional spin compact manifolds. In the case of n-dimensional closed compact (spin) manifolds we then use the conformal covariance of the Dirac, Yamabe and Branson-Paneitz operators to compare appropriate powers of their first eigenvalues. Equality cases are al...
متن کاملClifford Homomorphisms and Higher Spin Dirac Operators
We present a generalization of the Clifford action for other representations spaces of Spin(n), which is called the Clifford homomorphism. Their properties extend to the ones for the higher spin Dirac operators on spin manifolds. In particular, we have general Bochner identities for them, and an eigenvalue estimate of a Laplace type operator on any associated bundle.
متن کاملOn index formulas for manifolds with metric horns
In this paper we discuss the index problem for geometric differential operators (Spin-Dirac operator, Gauß-Bonnet operator, Signature operator) on manifolds with metric horns. On singular manifolds these operators in general do not have unique closed extensions. But there always exist two extremal extensions Dmin and Dmax. We describe the quotient D(Dmax)/D(Dmin) explicitely in geometric resp. ...
متن کاملAn index theorem for Toeplitz operators on odd-dimensional manifolds with boundary
We establish an index theorem for Toeplitz operators on odd-dimensional spin manifolds with boundary. It may be thought of as an odd-dimensional analogue of the Atiyah–Patodi–Singer index theorem for Dirac operators on manifolds with boundary. In particular, there occurs naturally an invariant of η type associated to K1 representatives on even-dimensional manifolds, which should be of independe...
