Index theory has had profound impact on many branches of mathematics. In this note we discuss the context for a new kind of index theorem. We begin, however, with some operator theoretic results. In [11] Berger and Shaw established that…
We provide a new approach to studying the moduli space of curves via Morse theory and hyperbolic geometry, by introducing a family of Morse functions on the moduli space $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ of stable curves of genus $g$ with $n$…
We prove a version of the fundamental theorems of Morse Theory in the setting of finite spaces or partially ordered sets. By using these results we extend Forman's discrete Morse theory to more general cell complexes and derive the…
We construct the coarse index class with support condition (as an element of coarse $K$-homology) of an equivariant Dirac operator on a complete Riemannian manifold endowed with a proper, isometric action of a group. We further show a…
We formulate and prove an index theorem for loop spaces of compact manifolds in the framework of $KK$-theory. It is a strong candidate for the noncommutative geometrical definition (or the analytic counterpart) of the Witten genus. In order…
We prove the existence of a solution to an equation governing the number density within a compact domain of a discrete particle system for a prescribed class of particle interactions taking into account the effects of the diffusion and…
We give a superconnection proof of the cohomological form of Mathai-Melrose-Singer index theorem for the family of twisted Dirac operators under relaxed conditions.
A Bernstein-von Mises theorem is derived for general semiparametric functionals. The result is applied to a variety of semiparametric problems in i.i.d. and non-i.i.d. situations. In particular, new tools are developed to handle…
In this lecture we review apprearance of the Riemann-Roch Theorem in classical function theory, Algebraic topology, in theory of pseudo-differential operators and finally in noncommutative geometry. We show also it usefulness in many…
We show that the Morse index of a properly embedded free boundary minimal hypersurface in a strictly mean convex domain of the Euclidean space grows linearly with the dimension of its first relative homology group (which is at least as big…
A finite range interacting particle system on a transitive graph is considered. Assuming that the dynamics and the initial measure are invariant, the normalized empirical distribution process converges in distribution to a centered…
In this paper, we study semilinear elliptic equations in domains where there is a natural class of solutions, which depend only on one variable, and whose simple geometry reflects the geometry of the domain. We prove that under quite…
We establish the compactly generated shape (H-shape) index theory for local semiflows on complete metric spaces via more general shape index pairs, and define the H-shape cohomology index to develop the Morse equations. The main advantages…
We propose a theoretical framework for the image source method that generalizes to arbitrary reflecting boundaries, e.g. boundaries that are curved or even with certain openings. Furthermore, it can seamlessly incorporate boundary…
We develop appropriate notions of Maslov index and spectral flow for electromagnetic geodesics within a fixed energy level and prove a Morse Index type theorem in this context. This is then applied to the problem of electromagnetic…
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 paper, we extend Roe's cyclic $1$-cocycle to relative settings. We also prove two relative index theorems for partitioned manifolds by using its cyclic cocycle, which are generalizations of index theorems on partitioned manifolds.…
We present the spectral and scattering theory of the Casimir operator acting on the radial part of SL(2,R). After a suitable decomposition, these investigations consist in studying a family of differential operators acting on the half-line.…
In this note, we study the equivalence of Morse and stable subgroups in the framework of the coset intersection complex. Under certain conditions on a coset intersection complex of a group, we prove that infinite-index Morse subgroups are…
