The Maslov index is used to compute the spectra of different boundary value problems for Schr\"{o}dinger operators on compact manifolds. The main result is a spectral decomposition formula for a manifold $M$ divided into components…
First, we prove a local spectral flow formula (Theorem 3.7) for a differentiable curve of selfadjoint Fredholm operators. This formula enables us to prove in a simple way a general spectral flow formula. Secondly, we prove a splitting…
It is proved that the Maslov index naturally arises in the framework of PDEs geometry. The characterization of PDE solutions by means of Maslov index is given. With this respect, Maslov index for Lagrangian submanifolds is given on the…
In this paper, we explicitly express the local Maslov index by a Maslov index in finite dimensional case without symplectic reduction. Then we calculate the Maslov index for the path of pairs of Lagrangian subspaces in triangular form. In…
We show how the index formula for manifolds with fibered boundaries can be used to compute the index of the Dirac operator on Taub-NUT space twisted by an anti-self-dual generic instanton connection.
We prove a semi-Riemannian version of the celebrated Morse Index Theorem for geodesics in semi-Riemannian manifolds; we consider the general case of both endpoints variable on two submanifolds. The key role of the theory is played by the…
We revisit the definition of the Maslov index of loops in coisotropic submanifolds tangent to the characteristic foliation of this submanifold. This Maslov index is given by the mean index of a certain symplectic path which is a lift of the…
We prove an index formula for the Dirac operator acting on two-valued spinors on a $3$-manifold $M$ which branch along a smoothly embedded graph $\Sigma \subset M$, and with respect to a boundary condition along $\Sigma$ inspired by an…
Topological degrees of continuous mappings between manifolds of even dimension are studied in terms of index theory of pseudo-differential operators. The index formalism of non-commutative geometry is used to derive analytic integral…
We show that one can characterize the Besov spaces on a smooth compact oriented Riemannian manifold, for the full range of indices, through a knowledge of the size of frame coefficients, using the frames we have constructed in [8].
In this paper, we give an affirmative answer to Gromov's conjecture ([3, Conjecture E]) by establishing an optimal Lipschitz lower bound for a class of smooth functions on orientable open $3$-manifolds with uniformly positive sectional…
In this paper, we develop a new index theory for manifolds with polyhedral boundary. As an application, we prove Gromov's dihedral extremality conjecture regarding comparisons of scalar curvatures, mean curvatures and dihedral angles…
We provide an integral formula for the Maslov index of a pair $(E,F)$ over a surface $\Sigma$, where $E\rightarrow\Sigma$ is a complex vector bundle and $F\subset E_{|\partial\Sigma}$ is a totally real subbundle. As in Chern-Weil theory,…
In this short article, we find an explicit formula for Maslov index of Whitney n-gons joining intersections points of n half-dimensional tori in the symmetric product of a surface. The method also yields a formula for the intersection…
We establish an index theorem for Toeplitz operators on odd dimensional spin manifolds with boundary. It may be thought of as an odd dimensional analogue of the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index theorem for Dirac operators on manifolds with…
In this article, we first establish the main tool - an integral formula for Riemannian manifolds with multiple boundary components (or without boundary). This formula generalizes Reilly's original formula from \cite{Re2} and the recent…
We obtained that any 2-form and any smooth function on 2-manifolds with boundary can be realized as the curvature form and the gaussian curvature function of some Riemmanian metric, respectively.
We obtain upper bounds for the Steklov eigenvalues $\sigma_k(M)$ of a smooth, compact, connected, $n$-dimensional submanifold $M$ of Euclidean space with boundary $\Sigma$ that involve the intersection indices of $M$ and of $\Sigma$. One of…

In this paper, we study Vanishing Mean Oscillation vector fields on a compact manifold with boundary. Inspired by the work of Brezis and Niremberg, we construct a topological invariant - the index - for such fields, and establish the…
