Abstract
This paper studies the space of L2 harmonic forms and L2 harmonic spinors on Taub-bolt, a Ricci-flat Riemannian 4-manifold of ALF type. We prove that the space of harmonic square-integrable 2-forms on Taub-bolt is 2-dimensional and construct a basis. We explicitly find all L2 zero modes of D̸A, the Dirac operator twisted by an arbitrary L2 harmonic connection A, and independently compute the index of D̸A. We compare our results with those known in the case of Taub-NUT and Euclidean Schwarzschild as these manifolds present interesting similarities with Taub-bolt. In doing so, we generalise known results concerning harmonic spinors on Euclidean Schwarzschild.
