Spinorial Yamabe-type equations and the Bär-Hijazi-Lott invariant
Jurgen Julio-Batalla
Abstract
We consider on a closed Riemannian spin manifold $(M^n,g,σ)$ the spinorial Yamabe type equation $D_g\varphi=λ|\varphi|^{\frac{2}{n-1}}\varphi$, where $\varphi$ is a spinor field and $λ$ is a positive constant. For a normalized solution $\varphi$ of this equation we find a positive lower bound for $λ^2$. As an application we obtain an explicit lower bound of the Bär-Hijazi-Lott invariant for some spin manifolds with positive scalar curvature.
