The magnetic Laplacian with a step magnetic field has been intensively studied during the last years. We adapt the construction introduced by Bonnaillie-No\"el, Fournais, Kachmar and Raymond to prove the existence of bound states of a new…

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of the spectral flow of a one-parameter family $\{D_s\}$ of Dirac operators acting on the spinor bunldle $S$ twisted by a vector bundle $E$ of rank $k$, with the parameter $s\in [0,r]$ when $r$…

In this paper we study the spectrum of a fundamental differential operator on a Hilbert-P\'olya space. A number is an eigenvalue of this differential operator if and only if it is a nontrivial zero of the Riemann zeta function. An explicit…

Given a closed connected spin manifold M with non-negative and somewhere positive scalar curvature, we show that the Dirac operator twisted with any flat Hilbert module bundle is invertible.

In this paper we consider a family of Riemannian manifolds, not necessarily complete, with curvature conditions in a neighborhood of a ray. Under these conditions we obtain that the essential spectrum of the Laplacian contains an interval.…

In this paper, we give a new lower bound for the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on a compact spin manifold. This estimate is motivated by the fact that in its limiting case a skew-symmetric tensor (see Equation \eqref{eq:16}) appears…

Not only the Dirac operator, but also the spinor bundle of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold depends on the underlying metric. This leads to technical difficulties in the study of problems where many metrics are involved, for instance in…
