In this overview article, we study the first positive eigenvalue of the Dirac operator in a unit volume conformal class. In particular, we discuss the question whether the infimum is attained. In the first part, we explain the corresponding variational problem. In the following parts we discuss the relation to the spinorial mass endomorphism and an application to surfaces of constant mean curvature. The article also mentions some open problems and work in progress.
