On a smooth complete Riemannian spin manifold with smooth compact boundary, we demonstrate that the Atiyah-Singer Dirac operator $\mathrm{D}_{\mathcal B}$ in $\mathrm{L}^{2}$ depends Riesz continuously on $\mathrm{L}^{\infty}$ perturbations…

Using a sheaf-theoretic extension of conventional principal bundle theory, the Dirac monopole is formulated as a spherically symmetric model free of singularities outside the origin such that the charge may assume arbitrary real values. For…

We examine some of the subtleties inherent in formulating a theory of spinors on a manifold with a smooth degenerate metric. We concentrate on the case where the metric is singular on a hypersurface that partitions the manifold into…

We construct a Connes spectral triple or `Dirac operator' on the non-reduced fuzzy sphere $C_\lambda[S^2]$ as realised using quantum Riemannian geometry with a central quantum metric $g$ of Euclidean signature and its associated quantum…

The article provides proofs for the regularity of Dirac eigenfunctions, subject to MIT boundary conditions employed on various types of open sets ranging from smooth ones to convex polygons in two dimensions, as well as on half-space and…

We are concerned with the dependence of the lowest positive eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on the geometry of rectangles, subject to infinite-mass boundary conditions. We conjecture that the square is a global minimiser both under the…

The eigenvalue problem for Dirac operators, constructed from two connections on the spinor bundle over closed spacelike 2-surfaces, is investigated. A class of divergence free vector fields, built from the eigenspinors, are found, which,…

This paper is concerned with the structure of the set of Riemannian metrics on a connected manifold such that the corresponding Laplace--Beltrami operator has an eigenvalue of a given multiplicity. The starting point of our investigation is…

In this paper we consider the Hilbert-Einstein-Dirac functional, whose critical points are pairs, metrics-spinors, that satisfy a system coupling the Riemannian and the spinorial part. Under some assumptions, on the sign of the scalar…

Under suitable invertibility hypothesis, the spectrum of the Dirac operator on certain open spin Riemannian manifolds is discrete, and obeys a growth law depending qualitatively on the (in)finiteness of the volume.

We consider a $3$-dimensional differentiable manifold with two circulant structures -- a Riemannian metric and an additional structure, whose third power is the identity. The structure is compatible with the metric such that an isometry is…

In a previous paper (PeCa24), the notion of Dirac structure in finite dimension was extended to the convenient setting. In particular, we introduce the notion of \emph{partial Dirac structure on a convenient manifold} and look for which all…

We study how the spin structures on finite-volume hyperbolic n-manifolds restrict to cusps. When a cusp cross-section is a (n-1)-torus, there are essentially two possible behaviours: the spin structure is either bounding or Lie. We show…

Let (M^n, g) be a closed smooth Riemannian spin manifold and denote by D its Atiyah-Singer-Dirac operator. We study the variation of Riemannian metrics for the zeta function and functional determinant of D^2, and prove finiteness of the…

We analyze whether one can construct a spectral triple for a Carnot manifold $M$, which detects its Carnot-Carath\'{e}odory metric and its graded dimension. Therefore we construct self-adjoint horizontal Dirac operators $D^H$ and show that…

On complete non-compact manifolds with bounded sectional curvature, we consider a class of self-adjoint Dirac-type operators called Dirac-Schr\"odinger operators. Assuming two Dirac-Schr\"odinger operators coincide at infinity, by previous…
