Let $(M,\omega_M)$ be a six dimensional closed monotone symplectic manifold admitting an effective semifree Hamiltonian $S^1$-action. We show that if the minimal (or maximal) fixed component of the action is an isolated point, then…
Symplectic spinors form an infinite-rank vector bundle. Dirac operators on this bundle were constructed recently by K.~Habermann. Here we study the spectral geometry aspects of these operators. In particular, we define the associated…
We revise the calculation of the one-loop effective action for scalar and spinor fields coupled to the dilaton in two dimensions. Applying the method of covariant perturbation theory for the heat kernel we derive the effective action in an…
This paper is a continuations of the project initiated in the book string topology for stacks. We construct string operations on the SO(2)-equivariant homology of the (free) loop space $L(X)$ of an oriented differentiable stack $X$ and show…
We derive a commutative spectral triple and study the spectral action for a rather general geometric setting which includes the (skew-symmetric) torsion and the chiral bag conditions on the boundary. The spectral action splits into bulk and…
The interaction between spin geometry and positive scalar curvature has been extensively explored. In this paper, we instead focus on Dirac operators on Riemannian three-manifolds for which the spectral gap $\lambda_1^*$ of the Hodge…
Operator angle-action variables are studied in the frame of the SU(2) algebra, and their eigenstates and coherent states are discussed. The quantum mechanical addition of action-angle variables is shown to lead to a novel non commutative…
We discuss the construction and properties of an approximate solution of the Ginsparg-Wilson equation, the so-called chirally improved lattice Dirac operator. In particular we study the behavior of its eigenmodes in smooth instanton…
We consider a couple of examples to study the pseudo-Hermitian interaction in relativistic quantum mechanics. Rasbha interaction, commonly used to study the spin Hall effect, is considered with imaginary coupling. The corresponding Dirac…
We analyze the Dirac Laplacian of a one-parameter family of Dirac operators on a compact Lie group, which includes the Levi-Civita, cubic, and trivial Dirac operators. More specifically, we describe the Dirac Laplacian action on any…
Spontaneous magnon decay is a generic feature of the magnetic excitations of anisotropic magnets and isotropic magnets with non-collinear order. In this paper, we argue that the effect of interactions on one-magnon states can, under many…
We show that even if a lattice Dirac operator satisfies the conditions consisting of locality, free of species doublings, correct continuum behavior, $\gm5$-hermiticity and the Ginsparg-Wilson relation, it does not necessarily have exact…
We consider Schr\"odinger operators on possibly noncompact Riemannian manifolds, acting on sections in vector bundles, with locally square integrable potentials whose negative part is in the underlying Kato class. Using path integral…
In this note the two dimensional Dirac operator $A_\eta$ with an electrostatic $\delta$-shell interaction of strength $\eta\in\mathbb R$ supported on a straight line is studied. We observe a spectral transition in the sense that for the…
In this paper, we classify Hamiltonian $S^1$-actions on compact, four dimensional symplectic orbifolds that have isolated singular points with cyclic orbifold structure groups, thus extending the classification due to Karshon to the…
We present a new selection rule for matrix elements of local spin operators in the $S=1/2$ ``Haldane-Shastry'' model. Based on this rule we extend a recent exact calculation \cite{H93} of the ground-state dynamical spin correlation function…
In this paper, we get a Kastler-Kalau-Walze type theorem associated to nonminimal de Rham-Hodge operators on compact manifolds with boundary. We give two kinds of operator-theoretic explanations of the gravitational action in the case of…
Let M be a compact, connected symplectic 2n-dimensional manifold on which an(n-2)-dimensional torus T acts effectively and Hamiltonianly. Under the assumption that there is an effective complementary 2-torus acting on M with symplectic…
We derive a normal form for a near-integrable, four-dimensional symplectic map with a fold or cusp singularity in its frequency mapping. The normal form is obtained for when the frequency is near a resonance and the mapping is approximately…
An operator theoretic approach to orthogonal rational functions on the unit circle with poles in its exterior is presented in this paper. This approach is based on the identification of a suitable matrix representation of the multiplication…
