Abstract
For an arbitrary Dirac-harmonic map (φ,ψ) between compact oriented Riemannian surfaces, we shall study the zeros of |ψ|. With the aid of Bochner-type formulas, we explore the relationship between the order of the zeros of |ψ| and the genus of M and N. On the basis, we could clarify all of non-trivial Dirac-harmonic maps from S 2 to S 2.
