We study K-theory classes of Hamiltonian loop group spaces represented by admissible Fredholm complexes. We prove various equivariant index formulae in this context. In a sequel to this article we show that, when specialized to a family of…

We express the index of the Dirac operator on symplectic quotients of a Hamiltonian loop group manifold with proper moment map in terms of fixed point data.

We quantize the Hamilton equations instead of the Hamilton condition. The resulting equation has the simple form $-\D u=0$ in a fiber bundle, where the Laplacian is the Laplacian of the Wheeler-DeWitt metric provided $n\not=4$. Using then…

We study Dirac operators acting on sections of a Clifford module ${\cal E}$\ over a Riemannian manifold $M$. We prove the intrinsic decomposition formula for their square, which is the generalisation of the well-known formula due to…

We initiate the study of the norm-squared of the momentum map as a rigorous tool in infinite dimensions. In particular, we calculate the Hessian at a critical point, show that it is positive semi-definite along the complexified orbit, and…

Consider a Hamiltonian action of a compact connected Lie group $G$ on an aspherical symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$. Under some assumptions on $(M,\omega)$ and the action, D. A. Salamon conjectured that counting gauge equivalence classes…

In this note, we give an explicit formula for a family of deformation quantizations for the momentum map associated with the cotangent lift of a Lie group action on Rd. This family of quantizations is parametrized by the formal G-systems…

We develop a formula for the equivariant index of a twisted Dirac operator on a compact globally hyperbolic spacetime with timelike boundary on which a group acts isometrically, subject to APS boundary conditions. The formula is the same as…

This paper studies Hamiltonian circle actions, i.e. circle subgroups of the group Ham(M,\om) of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms of a closed symplectic manifold (M,\om). Our main tool is the Seidel representation of \pi_1(\Ham(M,\om)) in the…

A quantum theory is constructed for the system of a relativistic particle with mass m moving freely on the SL(2,R) group manifold. Applied to the cotangent bundle of SL(2,R), the method of Hamiltonian reduction allows us to split the…

In this paper we construct an explicit quasi-isomorphism to study the cyclic cohomology of a deformation quantization over a riemannian \'etale groupoid. Such a quasi-isomorphism allows us to propose a general algebraic index problem for…

The first seven sections of the paper contain a version of localization for the norm-square of the moment map in equivariant de Rham theory, similar to that proved by P.-E. Paradan. The last section contains a definition and computation of…

The similarity renormalization group is used to transform a general Dirac Hamiltonian into diagonal form. The diagonal Dirac operator consists of the nonrelativistic term, the spin-orbit term, the dynamical term, and the relativistic…

We describe a midi-superspace quantization scheme for generic single horizon black holes in which only the spatial diffeomorphisms are fixed. The remaining Hamiltonian constraint yields an infinite set of decoupled eigenvalue equations: one…

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…
