(1,1)-forms acting on Spinors on K\"ahler Surfaces

It is known that, for Dirac operators on Riemann surfaces twisted by line bundles with Hermitian-Einstein connections, it is possible to obtain estimates for the first eigenvalue in terms of the topology of the twisting bundle \cite{JL2}. Attempts to generalize topological estimates for higher rank bundles or higher dimensional manifolds have been so far unsuccessful. In this work we construct a class of examples which indicates one problem that arises on such attempts to derive topological estimates

On the spectrum of the twisted Dolbeault Laplacian over K\"ahler manifolds

We use Dirac operator techniques to a establish sharp lower bound for the first eigenvalue of the Dolbeault Laplacian twisted by Hermitian-Einstein connections on vector bundles of negative degree over compact K\"ahler manifolds.Comment: 14 pages.
