Abstract:
We prove the conformal invariance of the dimension of thekernel of any of the self-adjoint Dirac operators associated to thecanonical Hermitian connections on Hermitian spin surface. In the caseof a surface of nonnegative conformal scalar curvature we estimate thefirst eigenvalue of the self-adjoint Dirac operator associated to theChern connection and list the surfaces on which its kernel isnontrivial.
