The $S$-resolvent estimates for the Spinor Dirac operator on manifolds with boundary conditions

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show that the spectral theory based on the S-spectrum is particularly well suited for the Dirac operator on manifolds, even in cases where the operator is not self adjoint. Traditionally, for non-self adjoint operators in the Clifford setting, the literature has often referred to the right spectrum. However, a more comprehensive approach is provided by the theory of the $S$-spectrum, which is the appropriate notion for general operators on Clifford modules. In this work, we show that this theory is particularly well suited for bisectorial Clifford operators. By using the $S$-spectrum, which naturally contains the right eigenvalues, we prove bisectorial estimates for the $S$-resolvent associated with the spinor Dirac operator under various boundary conditions.
