Abstract

This article is one of a series of papers. For this decade, the Dirac operator on a submanifold has been studied as a restriction of the Dirac operator in nn-dimensional euclidean space \EEn\EE^n to a surface or a space curve as physical models. These Dirac operators are identified with operators of the Frenet-Serret relation for a space curve case and of the generalized Weierstrass relation for a conformal surface case and completely represent the submanifolds. For example, the analytic index of Dirac operator of a space curve is identified with its writhing number. As another example, the operator determinants of the Dirac operators are closely related to invariances of the immersed objects, such as Euler-Bernoulli and Willmore functionals for a space curve and a conformal surface respectively. In this article, we will give mathematical construction of the Dirac operator by means of \CalD\Cal D-module and reformulate my recent results mathematically.
