For a finite rank projective bundle over a compact manifold, so associated to a torsion, Dixmier-Douady, 3-class, w, on the manifold, we define the ring of differential operators `acting on sections of the projective bundle' in a formal…

In this note we show that every compact spin manifold of dimension $\geq 3$ can be given a Riemannian metric for which a finite part of the spectrum of the Dirac operator consists of arbitrarily prescribed eigenvalues with multiplicity 1.

Let $D$ be a (generalized) Dirac operator on a non-compact complete Riemannian manifold $M$ acted on by a compact Lie group $G$. Let $v:M --> Lie(G)$ be an equivariant map, such that the corresponding vector field on $M$ does not vanish…

We consider the index of a Dirac operator on a compact even dimensional manifold with a domain wall. The latter is defined as a co-dimension one submanifold where the connection jumps. We formulate and prove an analog of the…

In the first part of this series, we defined an equivariant index without assuming the group acting or the orbit space of the action to be compact. This allowed us to generalise an index of deformed Dirac operators, defined for compact…

We consider a generalized APS boundary problem for a G-invariant Dirac-type operator, which is not of product type near the boundary. We establish a delocalized version (a so-called Kirillov formula) of the equivariant index theorem for…

We consider a complete Riemannian manifold, which consists of a compact interior and one or more $\varphi$-cusps: infinitely long ends of a type that includes cylindrical ends and hyperbolic cusps. Here $\varphi$ is a function of the radial…

On complete non-compact manifolds with bounded sectional curvature, we consider a class of self-adjoint Dirac-type operators called Dirac-Schr\"odinger operators. Assuming two Dirac-Schr\"odinger operators coincide at infinity, by previous…

This work reconsiders the holomorphic and anti-holomorphic Dirac operators of Hermitian Clifford analysis to determine whether or not they are the natural generalization of the orthogonal Dirac operator to spaces with complex structure. We…

We prove the Fredholmness of Dirac operators of monopoles with Dirac-type singularities on oriented complete Riemannian $3$-folds, and we also calculate the $L^2$-indices of them.

Functional determinants for Dirac operators on manifolds with boundary are considered. Ellipticity of boundary value problems is discussed in terms of the Calderon projector. The functional determinant for a Dirac operator on a…

A Dirac bundle is a euclidean bundle over a riemannian manifold $M$ which is a compatible left $C\ell(M)$-module, together with a metric connection also compatible with the Clifford action in a natural way. We prove some vanishing theorems…

We study the index bundle of the Dirac-Ramond operator associated with a family $\pi: Z \to X$ of compact spin manifolds. We view this operator as the formal twisted Dirac operator $\dd \otimes \bigotimes_{n=1}^{\infty}S_{q^n}TM_{\C}$ so…
