Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian spin manifold. The Atiyah-Singer index theorem yields a lower bound for the dimension of the kernel of the Dirac operator. We prove that this bound can be attained by changing the Riemannian metric g on an arbitrarily small open set.

- In the proof of Lemma A.1, one has to replace twice
σ-1(B) by σ(B-1) or equivalently by
σ(B)-1.
- On page 10004, line 7, the spinors should be restricted to the boundary ∂ N instead of N.
