Let M be a closed spin manifold and let N be a closed manifold. For maps f : M → N and Riemannian metrics g on M and h on N , we consider the Dirac operatorD ̸ g , h f of the twisted Dirac bundle Σ M ⊗ R f ∗ TN . To this Dirac operator one can associate an index inKO − dim ( M )( pt ) . If M is 2‐dimensional, one gets a lower bound for the dimension of the kernel ofD ̸ g , h f out of this index. We investigate the question whether this lower bound is obtained for generic tupels ( f , g , h ) .
