We construct Dirac operators on foliations by applying the Bismut-Lebeau analytic localization technique to the Connes fibration over a foliation. The Laplacian of the resulting Dirac operators has better lower bound than that obtained by…

Recently, it has been established that the discrete star Laplace and the discrete Dirac operator, i.e. the discrete versions of their continuous counterparts when working on the standard grid, are rotation-invariant. This was done starting…

On the basis of the generalization of the theorem about K-odd operators (K is the Dirac's operator), certain linear combination is constructed, which appears to commute with the Dirac Hamiltonian for Coulomb field. This operator coincides…

We describe a Riemannian space class where the second Dirac operator arises and prove that the operator is always equivalent to a standard Dirac one. The particle state in this gravitational field is degenerate to some extent and we…
