New Challenges for Dirac Operators

Eric Trébuchon

I am a PhD student at the Albert-Ludwig University of Freiburg in the research group of Nadine Große.

My research focuses on boundary value problems for the Dirac operator, such as the spinorial Yamabe equation with boundary. I am currently working on problems regarding self-adjointness and regularity on non-smooth domains.

Master's thesis (supervised by Prof. N. Große)

On an Iterative Scheme for the Spin-Yamabe Equation on Manifolds with Boundary

We study the spinorial Yamabe equation on compact manifolds with boundary, associated with the conformal invariant introduced by S. Raulot. Under smallness assumptions on the parameters, we prove the existence of solutions via an iterative scheme. Using bootstrapping arguments, we obtain smoothness up to the boundary under Shapiro–Lopatinski conditions, and away from the zero set in the interior.
