We establish a formula for the spectral flow of a smooth family of twisted Dirac operators on a closed odd-dimensional Riemannian spin manifold, generalizing a result by Getzler. The spectral flow is expressed in terms of the $\hat{A}$-form…

In the setting of a proper, cocompact action by a locally compact, unimodular group $G$ on a Riemannian manifold, we construct equivariant spectral flow of paths of Dirac-type operators. This takes values in the $K$-theory of the group…

We study the "quantized calculus" corresponding to the algebraic ideas related to "twisted cyclic cohomology" introduced in [KMT]. With very similar definitions and techniques as those used in [jlo], we define and study "twisted entire…

We give a comprehensive account of an analytic approach to spectral flow along paths of self-adjoint Breuer-Fredholm operators in a type $I_{\infty}$ or $II_\infty$ von Neumann algebra ${\mathcal N}$. The framework is that of {\it odd…

In this paper we construct a bivariant Chern character defined on ``families of spectral triples''. Such families should be viewed as a version of unbounded Kasparov bimodules adapted to the category of bornological algebras. The Chern…

Let M be an even dimensional compact Riemannian manifold with boundary and let D be a Dirac operator acting on the sections of the Clifford module E over M. We impose certain local elliptic boundary conditions for D obtaining a selfadjoint…

We show that the (graded) spectral flow of a family of Toeplitz operators on a complete Riemannian manifold is equal to the index of a certain Callias-type operator. When the dimension of the manifold is even this leads to a cohomological…

We are motivated by a conjecture of A. and S. Katok to study the smooth cohomologies of a family of Weyl chamber flows. The conjecture is a natural generalization of the Livshitz Theorem to Anosov actions by higher-rank abelian groups; it…

For a continuous curve of families of Dirac type operators we define a higher spectral flow as a $K$-group element. We show that this higher spectral flow can be computed analytically by $\heta$-forms, and is related to the family index in…

We consider a gauge invariant one parameter family of families of fiberwise twisted Dirac type operators on a fiberation with the typical fiber an even dimensional compact manifold with boundary, i.e., a family $\{D_u\}, u\in [0,1]$ with…

We consider smooth area-preserving flows (also known as locally Hamiltonian flows) on surfaces of genus $g\geq 1$ and study ergodic integrals of smooth observables along the flow trajectories. We show that these integrals display a…

In this paper, we give a combinatorial formula for the \v{C}ech cocycles representing the power sums of the Chern roots of a holomorphic vector bundle over a complex manifold. By an observation motivation by author's previous paper, we also…

In this paper, we develop a mini-max theory of the action functional over the semi-infinite cycles via the chain level Floer homology theory and construct spectral invariants of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on arbitrary, especially on {\it…

In this paper, we study global properties of continuous plurisubharmonic functions on complete noncompact K\"ahler manifolds with nonnegative bisectional curvature and their applications to the structure of such manifolds. We prove that…

Placing a Dirac-Schr\"odinger operator along the orbit of a flow on a compact manifold \(M\) defines an \(\R\)-equivariant spectral triple over the algebra of smooth functions on \(M\). We study some of the properties of these triples,…

We define families of invariants for elements of the mapping class group of S, a compact orientable surface. Fix any characteristic subgroup H of pi_1(S) and restrict to J(H), any subgroup of mapping classes that induce the identity modulo…

In this work we construct the $\Co^{\r}$-completion and $\Co^{\l}$-completion of a dynamical system. If $X$ is a flow, we construct canonical maps $X\to \Co^{\r}(X)$ and $X\to \Co^{\l}(X)$ and when these maps are homeomorphism we have the…
