In this paper we show that there is a well defined modified dbar-Neumann problem for a spin_c manifold with a strictly pseudoconvex boundary (in the contact geometry sense). We show that the index of the associated boundary value problem…

Based on operators borrowed from scattering theory, several concrete realizations of index theorems are proposed. The corresponding operators belong to some C*-algebras of pseudo-differential operators with coefficients which either have…

We extend the method of layer potentials to manifolds with boundary and cylindrical ends. To obtain this extension along the classical lines, we have to deal with several technical difficulties due to the non-compactness of the boundary,…

We study Dirac-type operators on incomplete cusp edge spaces with invertible boundary families. In particular, we construct the heat kernel for the associated Laplace-type operator and prove that the Dirac operators are essentially…

We interpret the coarse symbol and index class of a Callias type Dirac operator $D+\Psi$ on a manifold $M$ as a pairing between the coarse symbol and index classes associated to $D$ and K-theory classes of the coarse corona of $M$ or $M$…

Zero-modes, their topological degeneracy and relation to index theorems have attracted attention in the study of single- and bilayer graphene. For negligible scalar potentials, index theorems explain why the degeneracy of the zero-energy…

We consider discrete self-adjoint Dirac systems determined by the potentials (sequences) $\{C_k\}$ such that the matrices $C_k$ are positive definite and $j$-unitary, where $j$ is a diagonal $m\times m$ matrix and has $m_1$ entries $1$ and…

We study the index of the APS boundary value problem for a strongly Callias-type operator $D$ on a complete even dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ (the odd dimensional case was considered in our previous paper arXiv:1706.06737). We use…

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…

Starting from its original definition in module categories with respect to projective modules, the index has played an important role in various aspects of homological algebra, categorification of cluster algebras and $K$-theory. In the…

The index of a selfadjoint Fredholm operator is zero by the well-known fact that the kernel of a selfadjoint operator is perpendicular to its range. The Fredholm index was generalised to families by Atiyah and J\"anich in the sixties, and…
