In noncommutative geometry one is interested in invariants such as the Fredholm index or spectral flow and their calculation using cyclic cocycles. A variety of formulae have been established under side conditions called summability…
We compute the index of a Callias-type operator with APS boundary condition on a manifold with compact boundary in terms of combination of indexes of induced operators on a compact hypersurface. Our result generalizes the classical…
We define and study the noncommutative spectral flow for paths of regular selfadjoint Fredholm operators on a countably generated Hilbert C*-module. We give an axiomatic description and discuss some applications. One of them is the…
Gauge anomaly in 4-dimensions can be viewed as a current inflow into an extra-dimension, where the total phase of the fermion partition function is given in a gauge invariant way by the Atiyah- Patodi-Singer(APS) eta-invariant of a…
We give a functional analytical proof of the equality between the Maslov index of a semi-Riemannian geodesic and the spectral flow of the path of self-adjoint Fredholm operators obtained from the index form. This fact, together with recent…
We investigate the spectrum of a typical non-self-adjoint differential operator $AD=-d^2/dx^2\otimes A$ acting on $\Lp(0,1)\otimes \mathbb{C}^2$, where $A$ is a $2\times 2$ constant matrix. We impose Dirichlet and Neumann boundary…
In this paper, we define an analytical index for a continuous family of Fredholm operators parameterized by a topological space $\mathbb{X}$ into a Hilbert space $H,$ as a sequence of integers, extending naturally the usual definition of…
For a Dirac-type operator D with a spectral boundary condition, the associated heat operator trace has an expansion in powers and log-powers of t. Some of the log-coefficients vanish in the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer product case. We here…
Non-local boundary conditions, such as the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer (APS) conditions, for Dirac operators on Riemannian manifolds are well understood while not much is known for such operators on spacetimes with timelike boundary. We define a…
In this thesis, we study singular pseudo-differential operators defined by groupoids satisfying the Lauter-Nistor condition, by a method parallel to that of manifolds with boundary and edge differential operators. The example of the Bruhat…
We relate the spectral flow to the index for paths of selfadjoint Breuer-Fredholm operators affiliated to a semifinite von Neumann algebra, generalizing results of Robbin-Salamon and Pushnitski. Then we prove the vanishing of the von…
We study how far APS boundary conditions for a Lorentzian Dirac operator may be perturbed without destroying Fredholmness of the Dirac operator. This is done by developing criteria under which the perturbation of a compact pair of…
We give an elementary proof of a celebrated theorem of Cappell, Lee and Miller which relates the Maslov index of a pair of paths of Lagrangian subspaces to the spectral flow of an associated path of selfadjoint first-order operators. We…
We investigate the index of the Neuberger's Dirac operator in abelian gauge theories on finite lattices by numerically analyzing the spectrum of the hermitian Wilson-Dirac operator for a continuous family of gauge fields connecting…
On a compact globally hyperbolic Lorentzian spin manifold with smooth spacelike Cauchy boundary the (hyperbolic) Dirac operator is known to be Fredholm when Atiyah-Patodi-Singer boundary conditions are imposed. In this paper we investigate…
Let $(-A,B,C)$ be a continuous time linear system with state space a separable complex Hilbert space $H$, where $-A$ generates a strongly continuous contraction semigroup $(e^{-tA})_{t\geq 0}$ on $H$, and $\phi (t)=Ce^{-tA}B$ is the impulse…
This paper is devoted to Fredholm realizations of semi-Fredholm operators in a Hilbert space. Such a realization is determined by an abstract boundary condition, which is a subspace of the space of abstract boundary values. We find the…
We give a definition of the spectral flow for paths of bounded essentially hyperbolic operators on a Banach space. The spectral flow induces a group homomorphism on the fundamental group of every connected component of the space of…
We provide an interpretation of the APS index theorem of Piazza-Schick and Zeidler in terms of coarse homotopy theory. On the one hand we propose a motivic version of the boundary value problem, the index theorem, and the associated…
Let $A(t)$ be a continuous path of Fredhom operators, we first prove that the spectral flow $sf(A(t))$ is cogredient invariant. Based on this property, we give a decomposition formula of spectral flow if the path is invariant under a…
