Non-trivial harmonic spinors on generic algebraic surfaces. (English) Zbl 0878.58057
The author shows that the space of harmonic spinors on a simply connected algebraic surface is larger than what is predicted by the index theorem. Moreover, its dimension is larger than the absolute value of the index by an arbitrary large number.
