It is demonstrated that the Aharonov-Casher (AC) phase is a geometric phase that, in general, depends on the details of the closed path taken by a particle with a magnetic moment that is subject to an electric field. Consequently, it is not…

We consider a generalized APS boundary problem for a G-invariant Dirac-type operator, which is not of product type near the boundary. We establish a delocalized version (a so-called Kirillov formula) of the equivariant index theorem for…

We establish a weighted positive mass theorem which unifies and generalizes results of Baldauf--Ozuch and Chu--Zhu. Our result is in fact equivalent to the usual positive mass theorem, and can be regarded as a positive mass theorem for…

We establish a mod 2 index theorem for real vector bundles over 8k+2 dimensional compact pin$^-$ manifolds. The analytic index is the reduced $\eta$ invariant of (twisted) Dirac operators and the topological index is defined through…

By examining the analyticity of a sequence of topologically-proper lattice Dirac operators, we show that they tend to a nonlocal Dirac operator. This implies that a nonlocal lattice Dirac operator can have exact zero modes satisfying the…

We consider the Dirac equation on the Kerr-Newman-AdS black hole background. We first perform the variable separation for the Dirac equation and define the Hamiltonian operator $\hat H$. Then we show that for a massive Dirac field with mass…
