| contents | We study the Dirac-Yang-Mills equations on closed spin manifolds with a focus on uncoupled solutions, i.e. solutions for which the connection form satisfies the Yang-Mills equation. Such solutions require the Dirac current, a quadratic form on the spinor bundle, to vanish. We study the condition that this current vanishes on all harmonic spinors using perturbation theory and obtain a classification of the connection forms for which this holds, which we show contains an open and dense subset of connections. This has several implications for the generic dimension of the kernel of the Dirac operator. We further establish existence results for uncoupled solutions, in particular in dimension $4$ using the index theorem. Finally we generalize a construction method for twisted harmonic spinors to construct explicit uncoupled solutions on $4$-manifolds admitting twistor spinors and on spin manifolds of any dimension admitting parallel spinors. |
