Let Y be a compact, oriented 3-manifold with a contact form a. For any Dirac operator D, we study the asymptotic behavior of the spectral flow between D and D+cl(-ira) as r very large. If a is the Thurston-Winkelnkemper contact form whose…

We extend the relative index theorem on non-compact manifolds to encompass a wide variety of hypoelliptic differential operators of arbitrary order, demonstrating that the change in index when changing a differential operator locally can be…

This is an expository paper which gives a proof of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem for Dirac operators, presenting the theorem as a computation of the K-homology of a point. This paper and its follow up ("K-homology and index theory II:…

On filtered manifolds one can define a different notion of order for the differential operators. In this paper, we use generalized fixed point algebras to construct a pseudodifferential extension that reflects this behaviour. In the…

We consider first-order elliptic differential operators acting on vector bundles over smooth manifolds with smooth boundary, which is permitted to be noncompact. Under very mild assumptions, we obtain a regularity theory for sections in the…

In this note the notion of infinitesimal scattering matrix is introduced. It is shown that under certain assumption, the scattering operator of a pair of trace compatible operators is equal to the chronological exponential of the…

Motivated by the study of layer potentials on manifolds with straight conical or cylindrical ends, we introduce and study two classes (or calculi) of pseudodifferential operators defined on manifolds with cylindrical ends: the class of…

In this paper. we study properties such as $L^r$-boundedness, compactness, belonging to Schatten classes and nuclearity, Riesz spectral theory, Fredholmness, ellipticity and Gohberg's lemma, among others, for pseudo-differential operators…

We establish higher order trace formulas for pairs of contractions along a multiplicative path generated by a self-adjoint operator in a Schatten-von Neumann ideal, removing earlier stringent restrictions on the kernel and defect operator…

We develop a new approach to the study of spectral asymmetry. Working with the operator $\operatorname{curl}:=*\mathrm{d}$ on a connected oriented closed Riemannian 3-manifold, we construct, by means of microlocal analysis, the asymmetry…

We consider bifurcation of critical points from a trivial branch for families of functionals that are invariant under the orthogonal action of a compact Lie group. Based on a recent construction of an equivariant spectral flow by the…

This research expository article contains a survey of earlier work (in \S2--\S4) but also contains a main new result (in \S5), which we first describe. Given $c \geq 0$, the spectral operator $\mathfrak{a} = \mathfrak{a}_c$ can be thought…

In (J. Funct. Anal. 257, 1092-1132 (2009)), Dykema and Skripka showed the existence of higher order spectral shift functions when the unperturbed self-adjoint operator is bounded and the perturbations is Hilbert-Schmidt. In this article, we…

Given $H$ self-adjoint, $V$ symmetric and relatively $H$-bounded, and $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{C}$ satisfying mild conditions, we show that the Gateaux derivative $$\frac{d^n}{dt^n}f(H+tV)|_{t=0}$$ exists in the operator norm topology, for…

We investigate numerically the spectral flow introduced by Adams for the staggered Dirac operator on realistic (quenched) gauge configurations. We obtain clear numerical evidence that the definition works as expected: there is a clear…

In this paper we generalize the geodesic flow on (finite) homogeneous graphs to a multiparameter flow on compact quotients of Euclidean buildings. Then we study the joint spectra of the associated transfer operators acting on suitable…

We give a simple proof of the cobordism invariance of the index of an elliptic operator. The proof is based on a study of a Witten-type deformation of an extension of the operator to a complete Riemannian manifold. One of the advantages of…

Indicial operators are model operators associated to an elliptic differential operator near a corner singularity on a stratified manifold. These model operators are defined on generalized tangent cone configurations and exhibit a natural…
