We study the decomposition into irreducibles of the kernel of noncubic Dirac operators attached to finite-dimensional modules. We compare this decomposition with features of Kostant's cubic Dirac operator. In particular, we show that the kernel of noncubic Dirac operators need not contain full isotypic components. The cases of classical and exceptional complex Lie algebras are studied in details. As a by-product, we deduce some information on the kernel of noncubic geometric Dirac operators acting on sections over compact manifolds studied by Slebarski.
Keywords: Complex semisimple Lie algebras, highest weight representations, Dirac operators, Dirac cohomology, Weyl inequalities.
