We define an equivariant index of Spin$^c$-Dirac operators on possibly noncompact manifolds, acted on by compact, connected Lie groups. The main result in this paper is that the index decomposes into irreducible representations according to…

We establish a geometric quantization formula for a Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group acting on a noncompact symplectic manifold with proper moment map.

We give a formulation of a deformation of Dirac operator along orbits of a group action on a possibly non-compact manifold to get an equivariant index and a K-homology cycle representing the index. We apply this framework to non-compact…

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 two special cases of the equivariant index defined in part I of this series. We apply this index to deformations of Spin$^c$-Dirac operators, invariant under actions by possibly noncompact groups, with possibly noncompact orbit…

Paradan and Vergne generalised the quantisation commutes with reduction principle of Guillemin and Sternberg from symplectic to Spin$^c$-manifolds. We extend their result to noncompact groups and manifolds. This leads to a result for…

We prove the relative index conjecture, which in turn implies that the set of embeddable deformations of a strictly pseudoconvex CR-structure on a compact 3-manifold is closed in the C\infty-topology.

For a proper, cocompact action by a locally compact group of the form $H \times G$, with $H$ compact, we define an $H \times G$-equivariant index of $H$-transversally elliptic operators, which takes values in $KK_*(C^*H, C^*G)$. This…

Let G be a compact connected semisimple Lie group and let H\subset G be a closed connected subgroup such that rank(G)=rank(H) and G/H is a symmetric space. Given an irreducible representation of H, we define a Dirac operator D and determine…

In this paper we show that the Hamiltonian Monte Carlo method for compact Lie groups constructed in \cite{kennedy88b} using a symplectic structure can be recovered from canonical geometric mechanics with a bi-invariant metric. Hence we…

The (local) invariant symplectic action functional $\A$ is associated to a Hamiltonian action of a compact connected Lie group $\G$ on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$, endowed with a $\G$-invariant Riemannian metric $<\cdot,\cdot>_M$. It…

We present a K-theoritic approach to the Guillemin-Sternberg conjecture, about the commutativity of geometric quantization and symplectic reduction, which was proved by Meinrenken and Tian-Zhang. Besides providing a new proof of this…

Given a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ endowed with a proper Hamiltonian action of a Lie group $G$, we consider the action induced by a Lie subgroup $H$ of $G$. We propose a construction for two compatible Witt-Artin decompositions of the…

Let G be a compact, semi-simple Lie group and H a maximal rank reductive subgroup. The irreducible representations of G can be constructed as spaces of harmonic spinors with respect to a Dirac operator on the homogeneous space G/H twisted…

The Guillemin-Sternberg conjecture states that "quantisation commutes with reduction" in a specific technical setting. So far, this conjecture has almost exclusively been stated and proved for compact Lie groups $G$ acting on compact…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group, and $M$ a compact Hamiltonian $G$-space, with moment map $J$. For each $G$-equivariant Hermitian vector bundle $E$ over $M$, one has an associated twisted Spin-C Dirac operator, whose equivariant…

This article is a result of the AIM workshop on Moment Maps and Surjectivity in Various Geometries (August 9 - 13, 2004) organized by T.Holm, E.Lerman and S.Tolman. At that workshop I was introduced to the work of T.Hausel and N.Proudfoot…

We consider a invariant Dirac operator D on a manifold with a proper and cocompact action of a discrete group G. It gives rise to an equivariant K-homology class [D]. We show how the index of the induced orbifold Dirac operator can be…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold endowed with an isometric action of a compact Lie group. The method of the Witten deformation is used to compute the virtual representation-valued equivariant index of a transversally elliptic, first…

We define analogues of the Casimir and Dirac operators for graded affine Hecke algebras, and establish a version of Parthasarathy's Dirac operator inequality. We then prove a version of Vogan's Conjecture for Dirac cohomology. The…
