We introduce partial secondary invariants associated to complete Riemannian metrics which have uniformly positive scalar curvature outside a prescribed subset on a spin manifold. These can be used to distinguish such Riemannian metrics up…

A trace formula for Toeplitz operators was proved by Boutet de Monvel and Guillemin in the setting of general Toeplitz structures. Here we give a local version of this result for a class of Toeplitz operators related to continuous groups of…

Surgery, as developed by Browder, Kervaire, Milnor, Novikov, Sullivan, Wall and others is a method for comparing homotopy types of topological spaces with diffeomorphism or homeomorphism types of manifolds of dimension >= 5. In this paper,…

Let $\mathrm{Mod}(S_g)$ denote the mapping class group of the closed orientable surface $S_g$ of genus $g\geq 2$. Given a finite subgroup $H$ of $\mathrm{Mod}(S_g)$, let $\mathrm{Fix}(H)$ denote the set of fixed points induced by the action…

Let $G$ be a connected finite graph. Backman, Baker, and Yuen have constructed a family of explicit and easy-to-describe bijections $g_{\sigma,\sigma^*}$ between spanning trees of $G$ and $(\sigma,\sigma^*)$-compatible orientations, where…

We give several new perspectives on the Heegaard Floer Dehn surgery formulas of Manolescu, Ozsv\'{a}th and Szab\'{o}. Our main result is a new exact triangle in the Fukaya category of the torus which gives a new proof of these formulas.…

A classical result in differential geometry due to Lichnerowicz [8] is concerned with the decomposition of the square of Dirac operators defined by Clifford connections on a Clifford module ${\cal E}$\ over a Riemannian manifold $M$.…

We apply the geometric analog of the analytic surgery group of Higson and Roe to the relative $\eta$-invariant. In particular, by solving a Baum-Douglas type index problem, we give a "geometric" proof of a result of Keswani regarding the…

Using deep analytic methods, Cheeger and Gromov showed that for any smooth (4k-1)-manifold there is a universal bound for the von Neumann $L^2$ $\rho$-invariants associated to arbitrary regular covers. We present a proof of the existence of…

We prove the existence of an exact triangle for the Pin(2)-monopole Floer homology groups of three manifolds related by specific Dehn surgeries on a given knot. Unlike the counterpart in usual monopole Floer homology, only two of the three…

We study classes of locally biholomorphic mappings defined in the $\P$ that have bounded Schwarzian operator in the Bergman metric. We establish important properties of specific solutions of the associated system of differential equations…

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…

Replacing operators with continuous operator-valued functions, we prove time-dependent versions of well-known results on compressions and diagonals of bounded operators. The setting of smooth functions is also addressed. Our results have no…

The prime objective of this paper is to develop the notion of absolute continuity of functions on a more general setting outside $\R$. For this we have considered a topological space which is a measure space as well. We have built axioms…

We give a characterization of the effect of sequences of pivot operations on a graph by relating it to determinants of adjacency matrices. This allows us to deduce that two sequences of pivot operations are equivalent iff they contain the…

We introduce smooth atlas stratified spaces. We show that this class is closed under cartesian products; consequently, it is possible to define fiber bundles of smooth atlas stratified spaces. We describe the resolution of such a space to a…

The main result of this paper is the description of asymptotics along rays in weight space of traces of equivariant Toeplitz operators composed with quantomorphisms for torus actions. The main ingredient in the proof is the microlocal…

We consider a family of non-compact manifolds $X_\eps$ (``graph-like manifolds'') approaching a metric graph $X_0$ and establish convergence results of the related natural operators, namely the (Neumann) Laplacian $\laplacian {X_\eps}$ and…

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…
