We prove an index formula for the Dirac operator acting on two-valued spinors on a $3$-manifold $M$ which branch along a smoothly embedded graph $\Sigma \subset M$, and with respect to a boundary condition along $\Sigma$ inspired by an…
Using Weitzenb\"ock techniques on any compact Riemannian spin manifold we derive inequalities that involve a real parameter and join the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator with curvature terms. The discussion of these inequalities yields…
We study the properties of low-lying Dirac modes in quenched compact QED at $\beta$=0.99, 1.01 and 1.03, employing $12^3\times 12$ lattices and the overlap formalism for the fermion action. We pay special attention to the spatial…
Usually the quantum spin Hall states are expected to possess gapless, helical edge modes. Are there clean, non-interacting, quantum spin Hall states without gapless, edge modes? We show the generic, $n$-fold-symmetric, momentum planes of…

This paper studies the space of $L ^2 $ harmonic forms and $L ^2 $ harmonic spinors on Taub-bolt, a Ricci-flat Riemannian 4-manifold of ALF type. We prove that the space of harmonic square-integrable 2-forms on Taub-bolt is 2-dimensional…
For closed connected Riemannian spin manifolds an upper estimate of the smallest eigenvalue of the Dirac operator in terms of the hyperspherical radius is proved. When combined with known lower Dirac eigenvalue estimates, this has a number…
We characterize a weighted norm inequality which corresponds to the embedding of a class of absolutely continuous functions into the fractional order Sobolev space. The auxiliary result of the paper is of independent interest. It comprises…
In this paper we present a complete spectral analysis of Dirac operators with non-Hermitian matrix potentials of the form $i\operatorname{sgn}(x)+V(x)$ where $V\in L^1$. For $V=0$ we compute explicitly the matrix Green function. This allows…
In the present paper, we study quantum Sobolev spaces whose elements are operators of the Hilbert-Schmidt class. We construct these Sobolev spaces from the Fourier transform for operators. Next, we obtain continuous embedding theorems.…
We show that Dirac fermions moving in two spatial dimensions with a generalized dispersion $E\sim p^N$, subject to an external magnetic field and coupled to a complex scalar field carrying a vortex defect with winding number $Q$ acquire…
For closed manifolds endowed with a Riemannian foliation of codimension $4$, one can define a transversal Seiberg-Witten map. We show that there is a finite dimensional approximation for such a map. By such a method and under the condition…
We study the Dirac-Yang-Mills equations on closed spin manifolds with a focus on uncoupled solutions, i.e. solutions for which the connection form satisfies the Yang-Mills equation. Such solutions require the Dirac current, a quadratic form…
We study general conditions under which the computations of the index of a perturbed Dirac operator $D_{s}=D+sZ$ localize to the singular set of the bundle endomorphism $Z$ in the semi-classical limit $s\to \infty $. We show how to use…
We constructed all possible kinematically allowed three-point interactions of two massless Dirac spinors with massive higher-spin bosons. In any $D$ spacetime, the interactions have been constructed using the projections of the higher spin…
We establish a vanishing result for indices of certain twisted Dirac operators on $\text{Spin}^c$-manifolds with non-abelian Lie-group actions. We apply this result to study non-abelian symmetries of quasitoric manifolds. We give upper…

A unified approach to embedding theorems for Sobolev type spaces of vector-valued functions, defined via their symmetric gradient, is proposed. The Sobolev spaces in question are built upon general rearrangement-invariant norms. Optimal…
We revisit the quantum lattice gas model of a spinor quantum field theory-the smallest scale particle dynamics is partitioned into unitary collide and stream operations. The construction is covariant (on all scales down to a small length…
