Recently, properties of the fixed point action for fermion theories have been pointed out indicating realization of chiral symmetry on the lattice. We check these properties by numerical analysis of the spectrum of a parametrized fixed…

We show that for generic Riemannian metrics on a closed spin manifold of dimension three the Dirac operator has only simple eigenvalues.

When aiming to apply mathematical results of non-commutative geometry to physical problems the question arises how they translate to a context in which only a part of the spectrum is known. In this article we aim to detect when a…

We give a survey of results relating the restricted holonomy of a Riemannian spin manifold with lower bounds on the spectrum of its Dirac operator, giving a new proof of a result originally due to Kirchberg.

The spectral and scattering theory for 1-dimensional Dirac operators with mass $m$ and with zero-range interactions are fully investigated. Explicit expressions for the wave operators and for the scattering operator are provided. These new…

In this note, we consider the Dirac operator $D$ on a Riemannian symmetric space $M$ of noncompact type. Using representation theory we show that $D$ has point spectrum iff the $\hat A$-genus of its compact dual does not vanish. In this…

On a compact spin manifold we study the space of Riemannian metrics for which the Dirac operator is invertible. The first main result is a surgery theorem stating that such a metric can be extended over the trace of a surgery of codimension…

The fermionic topological charge of lattice gauge fields, given in terms of a spectral flow of the Hermitian Wilson--Dirac operator, or equivalently, as the index of Neuberger's lattice Dirac operator, is shown to have analogous properties…

Consider the class of n-dimensional Riemannian spin manifolds with bounded sectional curvatures and diameter, and almost non-negative scalar curvature. Let r=1 if n=2,3 and r=2^{[n/2]-1}+1 if n\geq 4. We show that if the square of the Dirac…

We prove that on a compact $n$-dimensional spin manifold admitting a non-trivial harmonic 1-form of constant length, every eigenvalue $\lambda$ of the Dirac operator satisfies the inequality $\lambda^2 \geq \frac{n-1}{4(n-2)}\inf_M Scal$.…

In his book Mickelsson notices that the infinite-dimensional Grassmannian manifold of Segal and Wilson admits a Spin^c structure and after this he naturally considers the problem of defining a Dirac operator on it. Mickelsson gives a…

We establish an upper estimate for the small eigenvalues of the twisted Dirac operator on Kahler submanifolds in Kahler manifolds carrying Kahlerian Killing spinors. We then compute the spectrum of the twisted Dirac operator of the…

We show that, for each symmetry class based on the tenfold way classification, the effective Dirac operator obtained by integrating out the additional bulk direction takes a value in the corresponding classifying space, from which we obtain…

We consider a two-dimensional massless Dirac operator coupled to a magnetic field $B$ and an electric potential $V$ growing at infinity. We find a characterization of the spectrum of the resulting operator $H$ in terms of the relation…

We derive the microscopic spectral density of the Dirac operator in $SU(N_c\geq 3)$ Yang-Mills theory coupled to $N_f$ fermions in the fundamental representation. An essential technical ingredient is an exact rewriting of this density in…

We present a matrix technique to obtain the spectrum and the analytical index of some elliptic operators defined on compact Riemannian manifolds. The method uses matrix representations of the derivative which yield exact values for the…

This is a survey article on a known generalization of Dirac-type operators to transverse operators called basic Dirac operators on Riemannian foliations, which are smooth foliations that have a transverse geometric structure. Construction…

We derive the spectrum of the Dirac operator for the linear sigma-model with quarks in the large N_c approximation using renormalization group flow equations. For small eigenvalues, the Banks-Casher relation and the vanishing linear term…
