Abstract

This article is concerned with the analysis of Dirac operators DD twisted by ramified Euclidean line bundles (Z,l)(Z,\mathfrak{l})-motivated by their relation with harmonic Z/2Z\mathbf{Z}/2\mathbf{Z} spinors, which have appeared in various context in gauge theory and calibrated geometry. The closed extensions of DD are described in terms of the Gelfand-Robbin quotient Hˇ\check{\mathbf{H}}. Assuming that the branching locus ZZ is a closed cooriented codimension two submanifold, a geometric realisation of Hˇ\check{\mathbf{H}} is constructed. This, in turn, leads to an L2L^2 regularity theory.

v2 fixes a problem in the earlier version of {\S}4. This requires a modification in the definition of the adapted Sobolev spaces
