โฆ Synopsis
We consider the Dirac operator D of a Lorentzian spin manifold of even dimension n > 4. We prove that the square D 2 of the Dirac operator on plane wave manifolds and the shifted operator D 2 -K on Lorentzian space forms of constant sectional curvature K are of Huygens type. Furthermore, we study the Huygens property for coupled Dirac operators on four-dimensional Lorentzian spin manifolds.

An estimate for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on compact Riemannian spin manifold of positive scalar curvature admitting a parallel one-form is found. The possible universal covering spaces of the manifolds on which the smallest possible eigenvalue is attained are also listed. Moreover,
