We extend the Atiyah, Patodi, and Singer index theorem for first order differential operators from the context of manifolds with cylindrical ends to manifolds with periodic ends. This theorem provides a natural complement to Taubes'…

Given an extension $0\to V\to G\to Q\to1$ of locally compact groups, with $V$ abelian, and a compatible essentially bijective $1$-cocycle $\eta\colon Q\to\hat V$, we define a dual unitary $2$-cocycle on $G$ and show that the associated…

Let $ \tilde{G} $ be an algebraic group acting on a variety $ \tilde{L} $, and $ G \subset \tilde{G} $ a subgroup which leaves a subvariety $ L \subset \tilde{L} $ stable. For a $ G $-orbit $ O_G = G u (u \in L) $ in $ L $, we can associate…

In the setting of a proper, cocompact action by a locally compact, unimodular group $G$ on a Riemannian manifold, we construct equivariant spectral flow of paths of Dirac-type operators. This takes values in the $K$-theory of the group…

For a complex manifold $\Sigma $ with $\mathbb{C}^{\ast }$-action, we define the $m$-th $\mathbb{C}^{\ast }$ Fourier-Dolbeault cohomology group and consider the $m$-index on $\Sigma $. By applying the method of transversal heat kernel…

The purpose of this paper is to give a new proof of results of Moscovici and Stanton on the orbital integrals associated with eta invariants on compact locally symmetric spaces. Moscovici and Stanton used methods of harmonic analysis on…

We construct a nontrivial cyclic cocycle on the Weyl algebra of a symplectic vector space. Using this cyclic cocycle we construct an explicit, local, quasi-isomorphism from the complex of differential forms on a symplectic manifold to the…

Let G be a compact connected semisimple Lie group and let H\subset G be a closed connected subgroup such that rank(G)=rank(H) and G/H is a symmetric space. Given an irreducible representation of H, we define a Dirac operator D and determine…

We derive an index theorem for the Dirac operator in the background of various topological excitations on an R^3 \times S^1 geometry. The index theorem provides more refined data than the APS index for an instanton on R^4 and reproduces it…

Let $G$ be a connected semisimple Lie group, and $G_0$ be its connected split real form. In this paper, we deduce explicit expressions for the heat kernels $\rho^{G_0}_t$ associated with the Laplace--Beltrami operators $\Delta_{G_0}$ and…
