A conformal lower bound of weighted Dirac eigenvalues on manifolds with boundary

Abstract

For the weighted Dirac eigenproblem on a compact spin manifold with the chiral boundary condition \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} Dφ= λfφ& \text{in } M, \\ \mathbf{B}φ= 0 & \text{on } \partial M, \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} we first give a lower bound of the eigenvalue using the relative Yamabe constant \begin{equation*} λ^2 \geq \frac{n}{4(n-1)} Y(M,\partial M,[g]), \end{equation*} then prove that equality holds if and only if (up to a conformal transformation) $M$ is a hemisphere and $\phi$ is a Killing spinor. More generalizations are studied.
