Suppose one is given a discrete group G, a cocompact proper G-manifold M, and a G-self-map f of M. Then we introduce the equivariant Lefschetz class of f, which is globally defined in terms of cellular chain complexes, and the local…

We study families of Dirac-type operators, with compatible perturbations, associated to wedge metrics on stratified spaces. We define a closed domain and, under an assumption of invertible boundary families, prove that the operators are…

Given a pair $(M,X)$, where $X$ is a smooth submanifold in a closed smooth manifold $M$, we study the operation, which takes each operator $D$ on the ambient manifold to a certain operator on the submanifold. The latter operator is called…

The Chern classes of a K-theory class which is represented by a vector bundle with connection admit refinements to Cheeger-Simons classes in Deligne cohomology. In the present paper we consider similar refinements in the case where the…

We revisit the cohomological index theorem for elliptic elements in the universal enveloping algebra of a Lie groupoid previously proved by the authors. We prove a Thom isomorphism for Lie algebroids which enables us to rewrite the…

Using the Witten deformation and localization algebra techniques, we compute the $G$-equivariant $K$-homology class of the de Rham operator on a proper cocompact $G$-spin manifold, where $G$ is an almost connected Lie group. By applying a…

One dimensional Dirac operators $$ L_{bc}(v) y = i 1 & 0 0 & -1 \frac{dy}{dx} + v(x) y, \quad y = y_1 y_2, \quad x\in[0,\pi]$$, considered with $L^2$-potentials $ v(x) = 0 & P(x) Q(x) & 0$ and subject to regular boundary conditions ($bc$),…

We address the homogenization of the two-dimensional Dirac operator with position-dependent mass. The mass is piecewise constant and supported on small pairwise disjoint inclusions evenly distributed along an $\varepsilon$-periodic square…

We revisit a construction principle of Fredholm operators using Hilbert complexes of densely defined, closed linear operators and apply this to particular choices of differential operators. The resulting index is then computed with the help…

We study the index theory of a class of perturbed Dirac operators on non-compact manifolds of the form $\mathsf{D}+\mathrm{i}\mathsf{c}(X)$, where $\mathsf{c}(X)$ is a Clifford multiplication operator by an orbital vector field with respect…

Let G be a finitely connected Lie group and let K be a maximal compact subgroup. Let M be a cocompact G-proper manifold with boundary, endowed with a G-invariant metric which is of product type near the boundary. Under additional…

A classical result in differential geometry due to Lichnerowicz [8] is concerned with the decomposition of the square of Dirac operators defined by Clifford connections on a Clifford module ${\cal E}$\ over a Riemannian manifold $M$.…

We study two special cases of the equivariant index defined in part I of this series. We apply this index to deformations of Spin$^c$-Dirac operators, invariant under actions by possibly noncompact groups, with possibly noncompact orbit…

To classify a group action on a manifold, the data associated with the fixed point set is essential. In this paper, we classify the fixed point data of a circle action on a 6-dimensional compact connected oriented manifold with isolated…

The spectral eta-invariant of a self-adjoint elliptic differential operator on a closed manifold is rigid, provided that the parity of the order is opposite to the parity of dimension of the manifold. The paper deals with the calculation of…

In this article I describe my recent geometric localization argument dealing with actions of NONcompact groups which provides a geometric bridge between two entirely different character formulas for reductive Lie groups and answers the…

We study the index bundle of the Dirac-Ramond operator associated with a family $\pi: Z \to X$ of compact spin manifolds. We view this operator as the formal twisted Dirac operator $\dd \otimes \bigotimes_{n=1}^{\infty}S_{q^n}TM_{\C}$ so…
