Harmonic spinors of the Dirac operator of connection with torsion in dimension four

It is shown that the existence of a parallel (-)-spinor with respect to a metric connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion requires more local restrictions than the existence of a parallel (+)-spinor. It is proved that every harmonic spinor with respect to the Dirac operator of this connection on a compact four-dimensional spin Riemannian manifold is parallel with respect to a naturally arising metric connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion and all such spaces are classified up to a conformal transformation.
