Spectral gaps for spin manifold Laplace spectrum

For a (compact) spin manifold, we know that the eigenvalues $\lambda_n$ of the Dirac operator are countable, with finite multiplicity, and satisfy $$ |\lambda_n| \to \infty, ~~~ \text{ as } n \to \...

Global Lichnerowicz Formula Proof (in the Kahler case)?

For a Kahler manifold $M$, let us denote its Dirac operator $\overline{\partial} + \overline{\partial}^\ast$, with respect to a metric $g$, by $D$. Moreover, let us dentoe the Levi-Civita connection ...
