The Dirac operator enters into zero curvature representation for the cubic nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation. We introduce and study a conformal map from the upper half-plane of the spectral parameter of the Dirac operator into itself. The…

We study Dirac operators on resolutions of Riemannian orbifolds by developing a uniform elliptic theory. The key idea is to view orbifolds as conically fibred singular (CFS) spaces and resolve them by gluing asymptotically conical…

We introduce a $\mathbb{C}/\mathbb{Z}$-valued invariant of a foliated manifold with a stable framing and with a partially flat vector bundle. This invariant can be expressed in terms of integration in differential $K$-theory, or…

Families of conformal field theories are naturally endowed with a Riemannian geometry which is locally encoded by correlation functions of exactly marginal operators. We show that the curvature of such conformal manifolds can be computed…
