The paper presents a first step towards a family index theorem for classical self-adjoint boundary value problems. We address here the simplest non-trivial case of manifolds with boundary, namely the case of two-dimensional manifolds. The…
We propose to interpret Levinson's theorem as an index theorem. This exhibits its topological nature. It furthermore leads to a more coherent explanation of the corrections due to resonances at thresholds.
We use reflecting Brownian motion (RBM) to prove the well known Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem for a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. The boundary integrand is obtained by carefully analyzing the asymptotic behavior of the boundary…
In 1946, M. Morse proposed a conjecture that an analytic topologically transitive systems is metrically transitive. We prove this Morse conjecture for flows on a closed orientable surface of negative Euler characteristic. As a consequence,…
In the gravitation n-body Problem, a homothetic orbit is a special solution of the Newton's Equations of motion, in which each body moves along a straight line through the center of mass and forming at any time a central configuration. In…
Let M be a foliated manifold and G a discrete group acting on M by diffeomorphisms mapping leaves to leaves. Then G naturally acts by automorphisms on the algebra of Heisenberg pseudodifferential operators on the foliation. Our main result…
We establish nonparametric identification in a class of so-called index models using a novel approach that relies on general topological results. Our proof strategy requires substantially weaker conditions on the functions and distributions…
We consider intersecting hypersurfaces in curved spacetime with gravity governed by a class of actions which are topological invariants in lower dimensionality. Along with the Chern-Simons boundary terms there is a sequence of intersection…
We provide a general microscopic theory of the scattering cross-section and of the refractive index for a system of interacting colloidal particles, exact at second order in the molecular polarizabilities. In particular: a) we show that the…
We prove that for an embedded unstable one-sided minimal hypersurface of the $(n+1)$-dimensional real projective space, the Morse index is at least $n+2$, and this bound is attained by the cubic isoparametric minimal hypersurfaces. We also…

We construct random Morse functions on surfaces by random walk and compute related distributions. We study the space of Morse functions through these random variables. We consider subspaces characterized by the surfaces with boundary…
We establish the theorems that give necessary and sufficient conditions for an arbitrary function defined in the unit disk of complex plane in order to has boundary values along classes of equivalencies of simple curves. Our results…
The biharmonic equation arises in areas of continuum mechanics including linear elasticity theory and the Stokes flows, as well as in a radar imaging problem. We discuss the reflection formulas for the biharmonic functions…
Recently, there has been an increasing interest in employing rotational motion measurements for seismic source inversion, structural imaging and ambient noise analysis. We derive reciprocity and representation theorems for rotational…
Based on operators borrowed from scattering theory, several concrete realizations of index theorems are proposed. The corresponding operators belong to some C*-algebras of pseudo-differential operators with coefficients which either have…
The hemispherical Mueller matrix map for light reflected from a plane-parallel planetary atmosphere is shown to obey several symmetry properties that provide a straightforward method to check their physical realizability. The mirror…
A Morse 2-function is a generic smooth map from a manifold M of arbitrary finite dimension to a surface B. Its critical set maps to an immersed collection of cusped arcs in B. The aim of this paper is to explain exactly when it is possible…
In this note we propose a min-max theory for embedded hypersurfaces with a fixed boundary and apply it to prove several theorems about the existence of embedded minimal hypersurfaces with a given boundary. A simpler variant of these…
