Abstract

We study the Dirac spectrum on compact Riemannian spin manifolds M equipped with a metric connection ${\nabla}$ with skew torsion $T{\in}{\Lambda}^3M$ in the situation where the tangent bundle splits under the holonomy of ${\nabla}$ and the torsion of ${\nabla}$ is of 'split' type. We prove an optimal lower bound for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator with torsion that generalizes Friedrich's classical Riemannian estimate.
