We consider Dirac-like operators with piecewise constant mass terms on spin manifolds, and we study the behaviour of their spectra when the mass parameters become large. In several asymptotic regimes, effective operators appear: the…

With the Schwinger model as example I discuss properties of lattice Dirac operators, with some emphasis on Monte Carlo results for topological charge, chiral fermions and eigenvalue spectra.
We establish an S^1-equivariant index theorem for Dirac operators on Z/k-manifolds. As an application, we generalize the Atiyah-Hirzebruch vanishing theorem for S^1-actions on closed spin manifolds to the case of Z/k-manifolds.
The paper deals with the semi-Dirac operator in a half-space arising in the description of quasiparticles in quantum mechanics as well as in semi-metals materials and related structures. It completely shows the self-adjointness, computes…

In this paper we discuss the index problem for geometric differential operators (Spin-Dirac operator, Gau{\ss}-Bonnet operator, Signature operator) on manifolds with metric horns. On singular manifolds these operators in general do not have…
In this article, various approaches to calculate covariant expressions for the bilinears of Dirac spinors are presented. For this purpose, algebraic equations defining Dirac spinors are discussed. Following that, a covariant approach for…
We derive the spectrum of the Dirac operator for the linear sigma-model with quarks in the large N_c approximation using renormalization group flow equations. For small eigenvalues, the Banks-Casher relation and the vanishing linear term…

Given an open set $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^3$. We deal with the spectral study of Dirac operators of the form $H_{a,\tau}=H+A_{a,\tau}\delta_{\partial\Omega}$, where $H$ is the free Dirac operator in $\mathbb{R}^3$, $A_{a,\tau}$ is a…
Based on the relation to random matrix theory, exact expressions for all microscopic spectral correlators of the Dirac operator can be computed from finite-volume partition functions. This is illustrated for the case of $SU(N_c)$ gauge…
We consider the Dirac equation in cylindrically symmetric magnetic fields and find its normal modes as eigenfunctions of a complete set of commuting operators. This set consists of the Dirac operator itself, the $z$-components of the linear…
Callias-type (or Dirac-Schr\"odinger) operators associated to abstract semifinite spectral triples are introduced and their indices are computed in terms of an associated index pairing derived from the spectral triple. The result is then…
Higher spin Dirac operators on both the continuum sphere($S^2$) and its fuzzy analog($S^2_F$) come paired with anticommuting chirality operators. A consequence of this is seen in the fermion-like spectrum of these operators which is…
When chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken, the low-energy part of the Dirac operator spectrum can be computed analytically in the chiral limit. The tool is effective field theory or, equivalently in this case, Random Matrix Theory.
