$\sigma_k$-scalar curvature and eigenvalues of the Dirac operator

Guofang Wang

Abstract

On a $4$-dimensional closed spin manifold $(M^4,g)$, the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator can be estimated from below by the total $\sigma_2$-scalar curvature of $M^4$ as follows \[\lambda^4\ge \frac {32}3\frac{\int_{M^4} \sigma_2(g) dvol(g)}{vol(M^4,g)}.\] Equality implies that $(M^4,g)$ is a round sphere and the corresponding eigenspinors are Killing spinors.
