Existence results for solutions to nonlinear Dirac equations on compact spin manifolds

Abstract

We consider super-linear and sub-linear nonlinear Dirac equations on compact spin manifolds. Their solutions are obtained as critical points of certain strongly indefinite functionals on a Hilbert space. For both cases, we establish existence results via Galerkin type approximations and linking arguments. For a particular case of odd nonlinearities, we prove the existence of infinitely many solutions.
