We consider geometric and analytical aspects of M-theory on a manifold with boundary Y. The partition function of the C-field requires summing over harmonic forms. When Y is closed Hodge theory gives a unique harmonic form in each de Rham…
We give a new proof of a result of Lazarev, that the dual of the circle $S^1_+$ in the category of spectra is equivalent to a strictly square-zero extension as an associative ring spectrum. As an application, we calculate the topological…
We present a cocycle model for elliptic cohomology with complex coefficients in which methods from 2-dimensional quantum field theory can be used to rigorously construct cocycles. For example, quantizing a theory of vector bundle-valued…
This is an expository paper which gives a proof of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem for elliptic operators. Specifcally, we compute the geometric K-cycle that corresponds to the analytic K-cycle determined by the operator. This paper and its…
This note discusses the cyclic cohomology of a left Hopf algebroid ($\times_A$-Hopf algebra) with coefficients in a right module-left comodule, defined using a straightforward generalisation of the original operators given by Connes and…
We consider a compact manifold whose boundary is a locally trivial fiber bundle and an associated pseudodifferential algebra that models fibered cusps at infinity. Using trace-like functionals that generate the 0-dimensional Hochschild…
We study realizations of pseudodifferential operators acting on sections of vector-bundles on a smooth, compact manifold with boundary, subject to conditions of Atiyah-Patodi-Singer type. Ellipticity and Fredholm property, compositions,…
In this talk, we review the heat kernel approach to the Atiyah-Singer index theorem for Dirac operators on closed manifolds, as well as the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index theorem for Dirac operators on manifolds with boundary. We also discuss…
Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian manifold and assume that $M$ is partitioned by a hypersurface $N$. In this paper we introduce a novel class of functions $C_{\mathrm{w}}(M)$ on noncompact manifolds, which is slightly larger than the algebra…
Consider an elliptic self-adjoint pseudodifferential operator $A$ acting on $m$-columns of half-densities on a closed manifold $M$, whose principal symbol is assumed to have simple eigenvalues. Relying on a basis of pseudodifferential…
Let M be a smooth compact connected manifold, on which there exists an effective smooth circle action preserving a positive smooth volume. We show that on M, the smooth closure of the smooth volume-preserving conjugation class of some…
We construct an explicit de Rham isomorphism relating the cohomology rings of Banagl's de Rham and spatial approach to intersection space cohomology for stratified pseudomanifolds with isolated singularities. Intersection space…
We describe a natural isomorphism between the set of equivalence classes of pseudocycles and the integral homology groups of a smooth manifold. Our arguments generalize to settings well-suited for applications in enumerative algebraic…
We present the details of our embedding proof of the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index theorem for Dirac operators on manifolds with boundary.
Frank Adams introduced the notion of a complex oriented cohomology theory represented by a commutative ring-spectrum and proved the Poincar\'e Duality theorem for this general case. In the current paper we consider oriented cohomology…
Let $M$ be a compact manifold. and $D$ a Dirac type differential operator on $M$. Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra. Given a bundle $W$ of $A$-modules over $M$ (with connection), the operator $D$ can be twisted with this bundle. One can then use a…
In this thesis we develop the cohomology of diagrams of algebras and then apply this to the cases of the $\lambda$-rings and the $\Psi$-rings. A diagram of algebras is a functor from a small category to some category of algebras. For an…
The goal of this article is to make explicit a structured complex whose homology computes the cohomology of the p-profinite completion of the n-fold loop space of a sphere of dimension d=n-m<n. This complex is defined purely algebraically,…
We extend the Atiyah, Patodi, and Singer index theorem for first order differential operators from the context of manifolds with cylindrical ends to manifolds with periodic ends. This theorem provides a natural complement to Taubes'…
We show that the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer reduced $\eta$-invariant of the twisted Dirac operator on a closed $4m-1$ dimensional spin manifold, with the twisted bundle being the Witten bundle appearing in the theory of elliptic genus, is a…
