We construct a 2+1 dimensional classical gauge theory on manifolds with spin structure whose action is a refinement of the Atiyah-Patodi- Singer eta-invariant for twisted Dirac operators. We investigate the properties of the Lagrangian…
By exploring a spinor space whose elements carry a spin 1/2 representation of the Lorentz group and satisfy the the Fierz-Pauli-Kofink identities we show that certain symmetries operations form a Lie group. Moreover, we discuss the reflex…
We show that for a suitable class of ``Dirac-like'' operators there holds a Gluing Theorem for connected sums. More precisely, if $M_1$ and $M_2$ are closed Riemannian manifolds of dimension $n\ge 3$ together with such operators, then the…
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…
This paper is a mixture of expository material and current research material. Among new results are examples of generalised harmonic spinors and their gauged version, the generalised Seiberg-Witten equations.
In this paper, we give two Lichnerowicz type formulas for Dirac operators and signature operators twisted by a vector bundle with a non-unitary connection. We also prove two Kastler-Kalau-Walze type theorems for twisted Dirac operators and…

Symplectic spinors form an infinite-rank vector bundle. Dirac operators on this bundle were constructed recently by K.~Habermann. Here we study the spectral geometry aspects of these operators. In particular, we define the associated…
We introduce an antisymplectic Dirac operator and antisymplectic gamma matrices. We explore similarities between, on one hand, the Schroedinger-Lichnerowicz formula for spinor bundles in Riemannian spin geometry, which contains a…
In this paper, we give a Lichnerowicz type formula for the J-twist D_J of the Dirac operator. And we prove a Kastler-Kalau-Walze type theorem for the J-twist D_J of the Dirac operator on 3-dimensional and 4-dimensional almost product…
We study the effects of having multiple Spin structures on the partition function of the spacetime fields in M-theory. This leads to a potential anomaly which appears in the eta-invariants upon variation of the Spin structure. The main…
This seminal paper marks the beginning of our investigation into on the spectral theory based on $S$-spectrum applied to the Dirac operator on manifolds. Specifically, we examine in detail the cases of the Dirac operator $\mathcal{D}_H$ on…
We give a direct link between description of Dirac particles in the abstract framework of unitary representation of the Poincar\'e group and description with the help of the Dirac equation. In this context we discuss in detail the spin…
We show that the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer reduced $\eta$-invariant of the twisted Dirac operator on a closed $4m-1$ dimensional spin manifold, with the twisted bundle being the Witten bundle appearing in the theory of elliptic genus, is a…
It is shown in the present paper that the transformation relating a parallel transported vector in a Weyl space to the original one is the product of a multiplicative gauge transformation and a proper orthochronous Lorentz transformation.…
It is well-known that the spectrum of a $\text{spin}^{\mathbb{C}}$ Dirac operator on a closed Riemannian $\text{spin}^{\mathbb{C}}$ manifold $M^{2k}$ of dimension $2k$ for $k \in \mathbb{N}$ is symmetric. In this article, we prove that over…
In this paper, we first establish an $S^1$-equivariant index theorem for Spin$^c$ Dirac operators on $\mathbb{Z}/k$ manifolds, then combining with the methods developed by Taubes \cite{MR998662} and Liu-Ma-Zhang \cite{MR1870666,MR2016198},…
We study general conditions under which the computations of the index of a perturbed Dirac operator $D_{s}=D+sZ$ localize to the singular set of the bundle endomorphism $Z$ in the semi-classical limit $s\to \infty $. We show how to use…
Exterior differential forms with values in the (Kostant's) symplectic spinor bundle on a manifold with a given metaplectic structure are decomposed into invariant subspaces. Projections to these invariant subspaces of a covariant derivative…
For any manifold M, the direct sum TM \oplus T*M carries a natural inner product given by the pairing of vectors and covectors. Differential forms on M may be viewed as spinors for the corresponding Clifford bundle, and in particular there…
