Lichnerowicz Formula


\begin{displaymath}
D^*D\psi=\nabla^*\nabla\psi+{\textstyle{1\over 4}}R\psi-{\textstyle{1\over 2}}F_L^+(\psi),
\end{displaymath}

where $D$ is the Dirac operator $D:\Gamma(W^+)\to\Gamma(W^-)$, $\nabla$ is the Covariant Derivative on Spinors, $R$ is the Curvature Scalar, and $F_L^+$ is the self-dual part of the curvature of $L$.
