We consider generalised Dirac--Schr\"odinger operators, consisting of a self-adjoint elliptic first-order differential operator D with a skew-adjoint 'potential' given by a (suitable) family of unbounded operators. The index of such an…

We use the Dirac operator method to prove a scalar-mean curvature comparison theorem for spin manifolds which carry iterated conical singularities. Our approach is to study the index theory of a twisted Dirac operator on such singular…

We review the construction of the Dirac operator and its properties in Riemannian geometry and show how the asymptotic expansion of the trace of the heat kernel determines the spectral invariants of the Dirac operator and its index. We also…

We introduce a notion of cobordism of Callias-type operators over complete Riemannian manifolds and prove that the index is preserved by such a cobordism. As an application we prove a gluing formula for Callias-type index. In particular, a…

Dirac operators and Dirac cohomology for Lie superalgebras of Riemannian type, introduced by Huang and Pand\v{z}i\'{c}, provide an effective tool for the study of unitarizable supermodules. In this article, we study these objects for Lie…

We give a framework of localization for the index of a Dirac-type operator on an open manifold. Suppose the open manifold has a compact subset whose complement is covered by a family of finitely many open subsets, each of which has a…
