Eigenvalues estimates for the Dirac operator in terms of Codazzi tensors

Thomas Friedrich and Eui Chul Kim

Humboldt-Universit

Abstract

We prove a lower bound for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on a compact Riemannian spin manifold depending on the scalar curvature as well as a chosen Codazzi tensor. The inequality generalizes the classical estimate from [2].

Keywords: Dirac operator, eigenvalues, Codazzi tensors
