Naively, the analytic index of a family of self-adjoint Fredholm operators ought to be (an equivalence class of) the family of the kernels of these operators. The present paper is devoted to a rigorous version of this idea based on ideas of…
Toeplitz operators on spaces $H^p(G)\ (1< p<\infty)$ associated with compact connected Abelian group $G$ with ordered dual are considered and the generalization of the classical Gohberg-Krein theorem on the Fredholm index of such operators…
We study the index theory of hypoelliptic operators on Carnot manifolds -- manifolds whose Lie algebra of vector fields is equipped with a filtration induced from sub-bundles of the tangent bundle. A Heisenberg pseudodifferential operator,…
We revisit the cohomological index theorem for elliptic elements in the universal enveloping algebra of a Lie groupoid previously proved by the authors. We prove a Thom isomorphism for Lie algebroids which enables us to rewrite the…
We show that the Dirac operator on a compact globally hyperbolic Lorentzian spacetime with spacelike Cauchy boundary is a Fredholm operator if appropriate boundary conditions are imposed. We prove that the index of this operator is given by…
We give an elementary solution of the index problem for elliptic operators associated with the shift operator along the trajectories of an isometric diffeomorphism of a closed smooth manifold. This solution is based on a reduction (which…
The $L^2$-Index Theorem of Atiyah \cite{atiyah} expresses the index of an elliptic operator on a closed manifold $M$ in terms of the $G$-equivariant index of some regular covering $\widetilde{M}$ of $M$, with $G$ the group of covering…
Let X be a closed connected contact manifold. On X there is a naturally arising class of hypoelliptic (but not elliptic) operators which are Fredholm. In this paper we solve the index problem for this class of operators. The solution is…
The extended Heisenberg algebra for a contact manifold has a symbolic calculus that accommodates both Heisenberg pseudodifferential operators as well as classical pseudodifferential operators. We derive here a formula for the index of…
In this article we consider a class of integrable operators and investigate its connections with the following theories:the spectral theory of non-self-adjoint operators, the Riemann-Hilbert problem, the canonical differential systems and…
This paper concerns Fredholm theory in several variables, and its applications to Hilbert spaces of analytic functions. One feature is the introduction of ideas from commutative algebra to operator theory. Specifically, we introduce a…
Some basic facts about Fredholm indices are briefly reviewed, often used in connection with Toeplitz and pseudodifferential operators, and which may be relevant for operators associated to fractals.
We investigate a quantization problem which asks for the construction of an algebra for relative elliptic problems of pseudodifferential type associated to smooth embeddings. Specifically, we study the problem for embeddings in the category…
This paper is a continuation of arXiv:0706.3511, where we obtained a local index formula for matrix elliptic operators with shifts. Here we establish a cohomological index formula of Atiyah-Singer type for elliptic differential operators…
In 1970s Segal outlined proofs of two theorems relating spaces of Fredholm and self-adjoint Fredholm operators with Quillen's constructions used to define higher algebraic K-theory. In the present paper we provide detailed proofs of these…
We consider the index problem of certain boundary groupoids of the form $\mathcal{G} = M _0 \times M _0 \cup \mathbb{R}^q \times M _1 \times M _1$. Since it has been shown that for the case that $q \geq 3$ is odd, $K _0 (C^* (\mathcal{G}))…
We study the Fredholm properties of a general class of elliptic differential operators on $\R^n$. These results are expressed in terms of a class of weighted function spaces, which can be locally modeled on a wide variety of standard…
The Atiyah-Singer index theorem is a topological formula for the index of an elliptic differential operator. The topological index depends on a cohomology class that is constructed from the principal symbol of the operator. On contact…
We consider the Dirac operator on asymptotically static Lorentzian manifolds with an odd-dimensional compact Cauchy surface. We prove that if Atiyah-Patodi-Singer boundary conditions are imposed at infinite times then the Dirac operator is…
We will discuss the equivariant cohomology of a manifold endowed with the action of a Lie group. Localization formulae for equivariant integrals are explained by a vanishing theorem for equivariant cohomology with generalized coefficients.…
