We analyze the limit of the spectrum of a geometric Dirac-type operator under a collapse with bounded diameter and bounded sectional curvature. In the case of a smooth limit space B, we show that the limit of the spectrum is given by the…
On a compact spin manifold we study the space of Riemannian metrics for which the Dirac operator is invertible. The first main result is a surgery theorem stating that such a metric can be extended over the trace of a surgery of codimension…
In this thesis, we show the existence of a sequence of differential operators starting with with the Dirac operator in k Clifford variables, $D=(D_1,..., D_k)$, where $D_i=\sum_j e_j\cdot \partial_{ij}: C^\infty((\R^n)^k,\S)\to…

We construct a universal spin$_c$ Dirac operator on $\mathbb{C}P^n$ built by projecting $su(n+1)$ left actions and prove its equivalence to the standard right action Dirac operator on $\mathbb{C}P^n$. The eigenvalue problem is solved and…
We consider modifications of the classical dbar-Neumann conditions that define Fredholm problems for the Spin_C Dirac operator. In part II, we use boundary layer methods to obtain subelliptic estimates for these boundary value problems.…
Let $M$ be a closed spin manifold and let $N$ be a closed manifold. For maps $f\colon M\to N$ and Riemannian metrics $g$ on $M$ and $h$ on $N$, we consider the Dirac operator $D^f_{g,h}$ of the twisted Dirac bundle $\Sigma…
The Dunkl--Dirac operator is a deformation of the Dirac operator by means of Dunkl derivatives. We investigate the symmetry algebra generated by the elements supercommuting with the Dunkl--Dirac operator and its dual symbol. This symmetry…
An integer valued topological index of a Dirac operator is introduced for a pair of a 4n+2 dimensional open Spin^c manifold and a section of the determinant line bundle satisfying some property. We show a relation between the index and an…
We compute the spectrum of the Dirac operator on 3-dimensional Heisenberg manifolds. The behavior under collapse to the 2-torus is studied. Depending on the spin structure either all eigenvalues tend to $\pm\infty$ or there are eigenvalues…
Assume that the compact Riemannian spin manifold $(M^n,g)$ admits a $G$-structure with characteristic connection $\nabla$ and parallel characteristic torsion ($\nabla T=0$), and consider the Dirac operator $D^{1/3}$ corresponding to the…
We give a survey of results relating the restricted holonomy of a Riemannian spin manifold with lower bounds on the spectrum of its Dirac operator, giving a new proof of a result originally due to Kirchberg.
We extend to the eigenvalues of the hypersurface Spin$^c$ Dirac operator well known lower and upper bounds. Examples of limiting cases are then given. Futhermore, we prove a correspondence between the existence of a Spin$^c$ Killing spinor…
We prove a new upper bound for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator of a compact hypersurface in any Riemannian spin manifold carrying a non-trivial twistor spinor without zeros on the hypersurface. The upper bound is expressed as the…
We construct in projective differential geometry of the real dimension $2$ higher symmetry algebra of the symplectic Dirac operator ${D}\kern-0.5em\raise0.22ex\hbox{/}_s$ acting on symplectic spinors. The higher symmetry differential…
The spin 1/2 Dirac operator and its chirality operator on the fuzzy 2-sphere $S^2_F$ can be constructed using the Ginsparg-Wilson(GW) algebra [arxiv:hep-th/0511114]. This construction actually exists for any spin $j$ on $S^2_F$, and have…
We study the notion of a Dirac operator in the framework of twist-deformed noncommutative geometry. We provide a number of well-motivated candidate constructions and propose a minimal set of axioms that a noncommutative Dirac operator…
We consider Dirac-like operators with piecewise constant mass terms on spin manifolds, and we study the behaviour of their spectra when the mass parameters become large. In several asymptotic regimes, effective operators appear: the…
Motivated by Wigner's theorem, a canonical construction is described that produces an Atiyah-Singer Dirac operator with both unitary and anti-unitary symmetries. This Dirac operator includes the Dirac operator for KR-theory as a special…
