We obtain a vanishing theorem for the kernel of a Dirac operator on a Clifford module twisted by a sufficiently large power of a line bundle, whose curvature is non-degenerate at any point of the base manifold. In particular, if the base…

Let $M$ be an oriented even-dimensional Riemannian manifold on which a discrete group $\Gamma$ of orientation-preserving isometries acts freely, so that the quotient $X=M/\Gamma$ is compact. We prove a vanishing theorem for a half-kernel of…

We show that knowledge of the source-to-solution map for the fractional Dirac operator acting over sections of a Hermitian vector bundle over a smooth closed connencted Riemannian manifold of dimension $m\geq 2$ determines uniquely the…

This is an elementary and self--contained review of twistor theory as a geometric tool for solving non-linear differential equations. Solutions to soliton equations like KdV, Tzitzeica, integrable chiral model, BPS monopole or Sine-Gordon…

This paper develops a weighted $L^2$-method for the (half) Dirac equation. For Dirac bundles over closed Riemann surfaces, we give a sufficient condition for the solvability of the (half) Dirac equation in terms of a curvature integral.…

We consider Dirac operators on odd-dimensional compact spin manifolds which are twisted by a product bundle. We show that the space of connections on the twisting bundle which yield an invertible operator has infinitely many connected…

We study a relation between certain extensions of the Clifford bundle and Finsler type structures that naturally generalize the standard Clifford relation between (pseudo)-Riemannian metric structures and Dirac matrices. We show for flat…

Given a closed connected spin manifold M with non-negative and somewhere positive scalar curvature, we show that the Dirac operator twisted with any flat Hilbert module bundle is invertible.

We consider on a spin manifold with boundary a Dirac operator $D_A$ with chiral boundary conditions, twisted by a unitary connection $A$. When $m$ is not in the chiral spectrum of $D_A$, we define an analogue of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map…

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…

We construct bundles of modules of vertex operator algebras, and prove the rigidity and vanishing theorem for the Dirac operator on loop space twisted by such bundles. This result generalizes many previous results.

A Dirac-type operator on a complete Riemannian manifold is of Callias-type if its square is a Schr\"{o}dinger-type operator with a potential uniformly positive outside of a compact set. We develop the theory of Callias-type operators…

In this lecture I will report on some recent progress in understanding the relation of Dirac operators on Clifford modules over an even-dimensional closed Riemannian manifold $M$\ and (euclidean) Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs models.

The use of bundle gerbes and bundle gerbe modules is considered as a replacement for the usual theory of Clifford modules on manifolds that fail to be spin. It is shown that both sides of the Atiyah-Singer index formula for coupled Dirac…

We use the Dirac operator method to prove a scalar-mean curvature comparison theorem for spin manifolds which carry iterated conical singularities. Our approach is to study the index theory of a twisted Dirac operator on such singular…

Not only the Dirac operator, but also the spinor bundle of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold depends on the underlying metric. This leads to technical difficulties in the study of problems where many metrics are involved, for instance in…

In this paper, we establish two kinds of Kastler-Kalau-Walze type theorems for Dirac operators and signature operators twisted by a vector bundle with a non-unitary connection on six-dimensional manifolds with boundary.

This article is concerned with the analysis of Dirac operators $D$ twisted by ramified Euclidean line bundles $(Z,\mathfrak{l})$-motivated by their relation with harmonic $\mathbf{Z}/2\mathbf{Z}$ spinors, which have appeared in various…

Starting from an even definite lattice, we construct a principal circle bundle covered by a certain three-step nilpotent Lie group G. On the base space, which is again a nilmanifold, we then study the Dirac operator twisted by the…
