The Space of Dirac-Minimal Metrics is Connected in Dimensions 2 and 4
Let be a closed connected spin manifold. Index theory provides a topological lower bound on the dimension of the kernel of the Dirac operator, which depends on the choice of Riemannian metric. Riemannian metrics for which this bound is attained are called Dirac-minimal. We show that the space of Di...

Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Zusammenfassung: | Let be a closed connected spin manifold. Index theory provides a topological lower bound on the dimension of the kernel of the Dirac operator, which depends on the choice of Riemannian metric. Riemannian metrics for which this bound is attained are called Dirac-minimal. We show that the space of Dirac-minimal metrics on is connected if is of dimension 2 or 4.
