The relative index theorem is proved for general first-order elliptic operators that are complete and coercive at infinity over measured manifolds. This extends the original result by Gromov-Lawson for generalised Dirac operators as well as…
In this article, we study the topological complexity of manifolds with a lower scalar curvature bound. We introduce a small scale index theorem to establish an upper bound for Gromov's simplicial norm of the Poincar\'e dual of the A-hat…
We use equivariant methods to establish basic properties of orbifold K-theory. We introduce the notion of twisted orbifold K-theory in the presence of discrete torsion, and show how it can be explicitly computed for global quotients.
We prove a general relative higher index theorem for complete manifolds with positive scalar curvature towards infinity. We apply this theorem to study Riemannian metrics of positive scalar curvature on manifolds. For every two metrics of…
We present the proof of the HRR theorem for a generic complex compact manifold by evaluating the functional integral for the Witten index of the appropriate supersymmetric quantum mechanical system.
This is an expository paper which gives a proof of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem for elliptic operators. Specifcally, we compute the geometric K-cycle that corresponds to the analytic K-cycle determined by the operator. This paper and its…
For a compact spinc manifold $X$ with boundary $b_1(\partial X)=0$, we consider moduli spaces of solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equations in a generalized double Coulomb slice in $L^2_1$ (i.e., $W^{1,2}$) Sobolev regularity. We prove they…
We prove a quantitative upper bound on the filling radius of complete, spin manifolds with uniformly positive scalar curvature using the quantitative operator $K$-theory and index theory.
In this paper, we prove an extension of the noncompact version of Llarull's theorem due to Zhang and Li-Su-Wang-Zhang, giving an upper bound for the infimum of scalar curvature in terms of the bottom spectrum of the Laplacian. Moreover, we…
In [19], a general Dabrowski-Sitarz-Zalecki type theorem for odd dimensional manifolds with boundary was proved. In this paper, we give the proof of the another general Dabrowski-Sitarz-Zalecki type theorem for the spectral Einstein…
We show the contractibility of spaces of invariant Riemannian metrics of positive scalar curvature on compact connected manifolds of dimension at least two, with and without boundary and equipped with compact Lie group actions. On manifolds…
We consider a complete Riemannian manifold, which consists of a compact interior and one or more $\varphi$-cusps: infinitely long ends of a type that includes cylindrical ends and hyperbolic cusps. Here $\varphi$ is a function of the radial…
Let $T$ be the circle group and let $LT$ be its loop group. We formulate and investigate several topological aspects of the $LT$-equivariant index theory for proper $LT$-spaces, where proper $LT$-spaces are infinite-dimensional manifolds…
We show that the computation of the Fredholm index of a fully elliptic pseudodifferential operator on an integrated Lie manifold can be reduced to the computation of the index of a Dirac operator, perturbed by a smoothing operator,…
We look at smooth manifolds equipped with a possibly singular Riemannian metric. We give sufficient conditions for the existence of scalar curvature measures and Dirac operators.
We establish a vanishing result for indices of certain twisted Dirac operators on $\text{Spin}^c$-manifolds with non-abelian Lie-group actions. We apply this result to study non-abelian symmetries of quasitoric manifolds. We give upper…
We give a proof of the index theorem of lattice Wilson--Dirac operators, which states that the index of a twisted Dirac operator on the standard torus is described in terms of the corresponding lattice Wilson--Dirac operator. Our proof is…
For a $n$-dimensional spin manifold $M$ with a fixed spin structure and a spinor bundle $\Sigma M$, we prove an $\epsilon$-regularity theorem for weak solutions to the nonlinear Dirac equation of cubic nonlinearity. This, in particular,…
In this paper we prove two theorems. The first one is a structure result that describes the extrinsic geometry of an embedded surface with constant mean curvature (possibly zero) in a homogeneously regular Riemannian three-manifold, in any…
In this work, we investigate compact K\"ahler manifolds with non-negative or quasi-positive mixed curvature coming from a linear combination of the Ricci and holomorphic sectional curvature, which covers various notions of curvature…
