We study the interplay between basic Dirac operator and transverse Killing and twistor spinors. In order to obtain results for general Riemannian foliations with bundle-like metric we consider transverse Killing spinors that appear as…

Let $M$ be a closed connected spin manifold. Index theory provides a topological lower bound on the dimension of the kernel of the Dirac operator which depends on the choice of Riemannian metric. Riemannian metrics for which this bound is…

The well known conformal covariance of the Dirac operator acting on spinor fields over a semi Riemannian spin manifold does not extend to powers thereof in general. For odd powers one has to add lower order curvature correction terms in…

In [10], Dabrowski etc. gave spectral Einstein bilinear functionals of differential forms for the Hodge-Dirac operator $d+\delta$ on an oriented even-dimensional Riemannian manifold. In this paper, we generalize the results of Dabrowski…

Consider a proper, isometric action by a unimodular, locally compact group $G$ on a complete Riemannian manifold $M$. For equivariant elliptic operators that are invertible outside a cocompact subset of $M$, we show that a localised index…

We consider the Dolbeault operator of $K^{1/2}$ -- the square root of the canonical line bundle which determines the spin structure of a compact Hermitian spin surface (M,g,J). We prove that the Dolbeault cohomology groups of $K^{1/2}$…

Given a C*-algebra A with a semicontinuous semifinite trace tau acting on the Hilbert space H, we define the family R of bounded Riemann measurable elements w.r.t. tau as a suitable closure, a la Dedekind, of A, in analogy with one of the…

The use of bundle gerbes and bundle gerbe modules is considered as a replacement for the usual theory of Clifford modules on manifolds that fail to be spin. It is shown that both sides of the Atiyah-Singer index formula for coupled Dirac…

For a Dirac operator $D_{\bar{g}}$ over a spin compact Riemannian manifold with boundary $(\bar{X},\bar{g})$, we give a natural construction of the Calder\'on projector and of the associated Bergman projector on the space of harmonic…

Let X be a closed Riemannian manifold and let H\hookrightarrow X be an embedded hypersurface. Let X=X_+ \cup_H X_- be a decomposition of X into two manifolds with boundary, with X_+ \cap X_- = H. In this expository article, surgery -- or…

B. Magajna and J. Schweizer showed in 1997 and 1999, respectively, that C*-algebras of compact operators can be characterized by the property that every norm-closed (and coinciding with its biorthogonal complement, resp.) submodule of every…

Given the unital C$^*$-algebra $A$, the unitary orbit of the projector $p_0=\begin{pmatrix}1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$ in the C$^*$-algebra $M_2(A)$ of $2\times 2$ matrices with coefficients in $A$ is called in this paper, the Riemann…

We introduce a gauge-theoretic integer lift of the Rohlin invariant of a smooth 4-manifold X with the homology of $S^1 \times S^3$. The invariant has two terms; one is a count of solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equations on X, and the other…

We consider projectivity and injectivity of Hilbert C*-modules in the categories of Hilbert C*-(bi-)modules over a fixed C*-algebra of coefficients (and another fixed C*-algebra represented as bounded module operators) and bounded…

We present a series of results concerning the interplay between the scalar curvature of a manifold and the mean curvature of its boundary. In particular, we give a complete topological characterization of those compact 3-manifolds that…

We associate to any Riemannian symmetric space (of finite or infinite dimension) a L$^*$-algebra, under the assumption that the curvature operator has a fixed sign. L$^*$-algebras are Lie algebras with a pleasant Hilbert space structure.…

Whatever it is that animates anima and breathes life into higher algebra, this something leaves its trace in the structure of a Dirac ring on the homotopy groups of a commutative algebra in spectra. In the prequel to this paper, we…

In this paper, we give the H\"ormander's $L^2$ theorem for Dirac operator over an open subset $\Omega\in\R^{n+1}$ with Clifford algebra. Some sufficient condition on the existence of the weak solutions for Dirac operator has been found in…

Using Liu's modular invariance method and its odd-dimensional extension by Han and Yu, we establish new Witten rigidity theorems for the generalized Witten genus of twisted Dirac operators on even-dimensional spin$^c$ manifolds and twisted…

The coadjoint orbits of compact Lie groups carry many K\"ahler structures, which include a Riemannian metric and a complex structure. We provide a fairly explicit formula for the Levi-Civita connection of the Riemannian metric, and we use…
