Nous montrons que l’endomorphisme de masse associé à l’opérateur de Dirac sur une variété riemannienne est non nul pour une métrique générique. La preuve s’appuie sur l’étude du comportement par chirurgie de l’endomorphisme de masse, de son comportement au voisinage d’une métrique possédant des spineurs harmoniques et par des arguments de perturbations analytiques.

We prove that the mass endomorphism associated to the Dirac operator on a Riemannian manifold is non-zero for generic Riemannian metrics. The proof involves a study of the mass endomorphism under surgery, its behavior near metrics with harmonic spinors, and analytic perturbation arguments.
