We prove a new lower bound for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on a compact Riemannian spin manifold by refined Weitzenb\"ock techniques. It applies to manifolds with harmonic curvature tensor and depends on the Ricci tensor.…

We introduce a slight modification of the usual equivariant $KK$-theory. We use this to give a $KK$-theoretical proof of an equivariant index theorem for Dirac-Schrodinger operators on a non-compact manifold of nowhere positive curvature.…

Let M be a complete Riemannian manifold, D a Dirac-type operator on M whose Weitzenbock curvature is uniformly positive on the complement of a subset Z of M. We show that the coarse index of D is localized to the K-theory of the coarse…
