We give lower bounds for the eigenvalues of the submanifold Dirac operator in terms of intrinsic and extrinsic curvature expressions. We also show that the limiting cases give rise to a class of spinor fields generalizing that of Killing spinors. We conclude by translating these results in terms of intrinsic twisted Dirac operators.

The field equations associated to Born–Infeld type brane theories are studied by using auxiliary variables. This approach hinges on the fact, that the expressions defining the physical and geometrical quantities describing the worldvolume are varied independently. The general structure of the Born–Infeld type theories for branes contains the square root of a determinant of a combined matrix between the induced metric on the worldvolume swept out by the brane and a symmetric/antisymmetric tensor depending on gauge, matter or extrinsic curvature terms taking place on the worldvolume. The higher-order curvature terms appearing in the determinant form come to play in competition with other effective brane models. Additionally, we suggest a Born–Infeld–Einstein type action for branes where the higher-order curvature content is provided by the worldvolume Ricci tensor. This action provides an alternative description of the dynamics of braneworld scenarios.

It has been shown1,2 that the usual 3+1 form of Einstein's equations may be ill-posed. This result has been previously observed in numerical simulations3,4. We present a 3+1 type formalism inspired by these works to decompose Einstein's equations. This decomposition is motivated by the aim of stable numerical implementation and resolution of the equations. We introduce the conformal 3-"metric" (scaled by the determinant of the usual 3-metric) which is a tensor density of weight -2/3. The Einstein equations are then derived in terms of this "metric", of the conformal extrinsic curvature and in terms of the associated derivative. We also introduce a flat 3-metric (the asymptotic metric for isolated systems) and the associated derivative. Finally, the generalized Dirac gauge (introduced by Smarr and York5) is used in this formalism and some examples of formulation of Einstein's equations are shown.

Known force terms arising in the Ehrenfest dynamics of quantum electrons and classical nuclei, due to a moving basis set for the former, can be understood in terms of the curvature of the manifold hosting the quantum states of the electronic subsystem. Namely, the velocity-dependent terms appearing in the Ehrenfest forces on the nuclei acquire a geometrical meaning in terms of the intrinsic curvature of the manifold, while Pulay terms relate to its extrinsic curvature.

In this paper, we obtain good lower bound estimates of eigenvalues for various Dirichlet eigenvalue problems of higher order elliptic equations on bounded domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$.
