In this paper we consider a critical Dirac equation with a potential on a compact spin manifold. We prove the existence of solutions based on the analysis of the spectrum of Dirac operator with a potential and the dual variational method.

Keywords: Strongly indefinite functionals., Nonlinear Dirac equation, Variational methods.
